Running RC1 on Windows 2003 Server I get the following: 2004-12-13 13:01:11 FATAL: could not attach to proper memory at fixed address: shmget(key=5432001, addr=00DB0000) failed: Invalid argument 2004-12-13 13:01:11 FATAL: could not attach to proper memory at fixed address: shmget(key=5432001, addr=00DB0000) failed: Invalid argument 2004-12-13 13:01:11 LOG: background writer process (PID 3548) exited with exit code 0 2004-12-13 13:01:11 LOG: terminating any other active server processes 2004-12-13 13:01:11 LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing
I noticed that there are a couple of references to this on the mailing list however the 'Invalid argument' part of the message appears to be different. The problem can be worked around (if you are running locally) by changing the postgresql.conf from: listen_addresses = '*' to: listen_addresses = '127.0.0.1' Thanks, Bryan Roberts ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
