What is signal 5 in XP? I looked in the MinGW source used to build PostgreSQL 8.1.4 and there is no mention of a signal 5 there. I see signal 5 mentioned here:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-11/msg00175.php and it was diagnosed as an invalid memory access. I suggest you upgrade to the newest release of 8.1.X, 8.1.9. It does not require you to dump your database. This might fix it: ftp://ftp5.ca.postgresql.org/mirrors/postgresql/binary/v8.1.9/win32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- chee leong wrote: > > The following bug has been logged online: > > Bug reference: 3318 > Logged by: chee leong > Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4 > Operating system: Windows XP > Description: PostgreSQL : server process (PID 3480) was terminated by > signal 5 > Details: > > Dear Sir/Madam, > > We have 2 pc, both also install postgreSQL, but one of the pc > having problem in the middle of running program call to postgreSQL, but > another one no problem at all. > > the problem as follow : > > 2007-05-14 09:55:36 LOG: server process (PID 3480) was terminated > by signal 5 > 2007-05-14 09:55:36 LOG: terminating any other active server > processes > 2007-05-14 09:55:36 LOG: all server processes terminated; > reinitializing > 2007-05-14 09:55:36 LOG: database system was interrupted at > 2007-05-14 09:53:42 Malay Peninsula Standard Time > 2007-05-14 09:55:36 LOG: checkpoint record is at 1/D50D3610 > > Many thanks and hope you can give some info/suggestion for solving > this problem. > > Thanks and regards, > Chee Leong > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? > > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
