Help, How to start the server??

From
YuChi
Date:
i use postgresql-9.2.4 install on ubuntu11.04(natty)
and i use the command:

*postgres@ubuntu:/$ postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data*

or use

*postgres@ubuntu:/$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data*

to start the server
but it's stopping at the message:

*LOG:  database system was shut down at 2013-05-24 15:07:34 CST
LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections
LOG:  autovacuum launcher started*

for a long time
it seems never continue again
and i don't know how to do next...
can anyone tell me is there anything wrong? or how to do next?

thank you

That's perfectly normal log output after a server start. Have you tried
connecting with psql?

The above is the previous shut down.

The database is now up.

Start a client connection to test.

It's just waiting for connections. Try opening a different console
window, and connect to it from there:

  psql -U <my user> <database name>

However, you probably want it to run as a daemon; I don't know about
Ubuntu, but on debian it's set up for you already, if you install using
apt-get:

  /etc/init.d/postgresql start

In fact, it's probably already running after being installed:

  ps ax | grep postgres
