HI,
This is regarding the postgres issue..
We are not maintaining any logs for the postgres stop/start.
So it becomes a bit problematic, to debug..

These are the steps we are following and the results:

postmaster -D /home/data/www/pg7/data
    Does not start postgress, and no msg given.

pg_ctl start /home/data/www/pg7/data
    Does not start postgres but gives a msg that "Poatgres is
started successfully"

I als0 tried the following commands,

postmaster -D /home/data/www/pg7/data >logfile 2>&1 &
    It creates a file "logfile". But does not log anything there.
Does not start postgress, and no msg given.

pg_ctl start /home/data/www/pg7/data -l logfile
    It creates a file "logfile". But does not log anything there.
Does not start postgres but gives a msg that "Poatgres is started
successfully"

I am really stuck here. And need to get a way thru all of this.
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.

Thanks.
