As I wrote in my first message - for sure there is no other PostgreSQL
server instance nor any other application is using this TCP port. (I checked
with commands `ps -A | grep postmaster` and `netstat -plunt | grep 5432`):
# service postgresql stop
Stopping postgresql service: [ OK ]
# netstat -plunt | grep 5432
# ps -A | grep postmaster
# rm /var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log
rm: remove regular file `/var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log'? y
# service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]
# cat /var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log
LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use
HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a
few seconds and retry.
Any other hints?
