You can't change shmall & shmmax after boot. They must be set during startup. If you're on a recent version of OS X, you do this in /etc/sysctl.conf. Also the /usr/bin/postgres that you seen running is not where macports puts it and not the one you tried to start a couple of lines earlier, so you have something already installed on your system that is running a postgres instance. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@elevated-dev.com http://www.elevated-dev.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
