"chkconfig postgresql on" additionally when i do "service postgresql status" it gives the following message: "dead but pid file exists" I don't recall doing anything else differently. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
