Hi!

Yes, that is indeed the problem.
I tried the recommended settings for sysctl.conf. Now ard and postgresql are working well together.

Now i am ongoing to optimize the settings. Without changing the sysctl.conf or rc, i am able to get postgres running with the following settings:

max_connections = 40
shared_buffers=640kB

Does anybody see any problems with theese settings? The amount of parallel connections should not be a big problem, because it is a dedicated database.


Thanks Tom and best Regards,


Peter

The problem is not solved, but we reduced it: it occures only if

But this can only be a workaround. Does anybody know why the two
programs do not work together? Google says that ARD uses postgres,
too. But we are using another port and another user...

Yeah, I believe ARD does have an embedded postgres instance. You might
be running into Apple's ridiculously low system-wide SHMMAX setting;
it's only big enough to let one postgres run at a time, unless you
hobble performance by reducing shared_buffers etc well below default.
See our manual for how to increase SHMMAX on OS X --- it's trickier
than it ought to be :-(
