At a guess the you are missing an '&' at the end of the 2nd command (postgres -D ...) so it is running in the foreground so anything typed is simply being ignored as it does not read stdin. Adding the & will make it run in the background and give you back a shell prompt so the other commands will actually be run. Running postgres by hand like this is fairly unusual. Normally it would be started/stopped by the main init scripts which is a far more reliable way. -- Phil Davis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
