If you are sure that no other postmaster is running, try deleting the file
/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432, as the error message suggests. When you've done that,
you should be able to start the postmaster.

Hi,
I recently came across a problem wherein I am not able to start my
postgreSQL 7.0.3 server.
Here's what happens..;-(
postgres@kahoy /root$ postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Permission denied
Is another postmaster already running on that port?
