I wish to run an instance of PG-9.2 concurrently with our production
version (9.1). I have changed the listening port number.
listen_addresses = 'pgsql-dbms.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca, localhost'
#port = 5432 # (change requires restart)
port = 5433
However, I am getting this error when I try to start the new version
while the old one is still running. Is there something else I must do
to accomplish this? Why is the lock file using the default port
number for this instance?
cat ../pgstartup.log
