But your client-side programs are still talking to the port where the old postmaster is. You could set PGPORT in their environment to fix that. What I find more convenient, though, when I intend to run multiple installations on one machine, is to build each one with "--with-pgport=XXXX" added to the configure switches, choosing a different default port XXXX for each. Then you don't have to worry about switching PGPORT environment (only about putting the right version of psql first in your path ...) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
