Usually this message means that the *kernel* refused to let you fork a
new process. Some resource was unavailable. So this means (usually) one
of two things:
- You have a maximum on the number of processes on the system and
you're exceeding it
- You have a limit of the amount of memory. If you have overcommit
disabled this may be causing the issue.
I couldn't find quickly details of your setup but if you're running
linux with overcommit disabled, make sure you have at least twice as
much space allocated for swap as you have real memory.
Make sure you don't have lots of idle postgres processes lying around.
You'll have to provide more detail about your system before getting any
better recommendations.
Have a nice day,
