The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5896 Logged by: Nacho Mezzadra Email address: nachomezza...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.14-1 Operating system: Red Hat 5.3 Enterprise Description: When server cannot be started, first it says that it couldn't be started and then Server Started Details:
When running the command service postgresql-8.3 start, and, lets say that the port is already in use, and server cannot be started, then a message comes up saying that the server could not be started (which is correct given that the specified port was already in use), and right after that a message says that PostgreSQL started successfully (which is obviously wrong). Here is the output I get: [root@RHEL53Nachao 40594]# service postgresql-8.3 start Starting PostgreSQL 8.3: waiting for server to start...............................................................could not start server PostgreSQL 8.3 started successfully [root@RHEL53Nachao 40594]# -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
