I have sent this message under a different subject line and did not
get any response. At the moment I cannot use Postgresql and it is a
frustration. It seems that my system is an unstable linux system.
I got this message when my computer rebooted.
FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Permission denied
Is another postmaster already running on that port?
If not, remove socket node (/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432) and retry.
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port
But there is no /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432
Trying to start postgresql as root gives the same message.
Postgresql 6.5.3 on a mixed slink/potato machine.
I hope somebody can help me to get it going again.
Johann.
