Hi,
I've an application running on RedHat Linux and we are using Postgres as our DB. Initially the DB was running perfectly
butdue to
some requirement we stopped the DB with " pg_ctl stop -m 'fast' " command. When I tried to restart the DB/Postmaster it
says:
StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Cannot assign requested address
Is another postmaster already running on port 5432?
If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
cannot create INET stream port
Since I don't have root access , I took the help of the Sysadmin to reboot the system and the DB server(POSTGRES)
startedcorrectly
, but when I stopped the DB server with above mentioned command and started again it throws back the same old error. Is
thereanyway
to get rid of these.
I found some details in archieves at http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/msg04095.html . But I don't
understandwhat to do
next.
The O/P of >netstat -plunt | grep 5432
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

Any pointers/help in resolving this issue will be highly appreciated.
