In my /tmp directory I have the following when the server is running. These files are removed on shutdown. When you do your shutdown, check and see if they are still there and what there timestamp is. Could be there are left over files from your previous version. /tmp$ srwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 0 2009-05-04 05:51 .s.PGSQL.5432 -rw------- 1 postgres postgres 27 2009-05-04 05:51 .s.PGSQL.5432.lock -- Adrian Klaver akla...@comcast.net -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
