Thread: Unable to connect to PostgresSQL server: Backend startup failed in /www-data/main.php on line 14

Hi everybody,

do you know in what circumstances this error is shown up?

Unable to connect to PostgresSQL server: Backend startup failed in /www-data/main.php on line 14

yesterday everything was OK, but today ...
I'm afraid of that my configuration cannot fork more backend,
my clients eat up all available backends. Could it be?
The server is an old one: 7.0.2.

Are you sure PostgreSQL is running?

I couldn't be sure anything because I've no access to that machine.
BTW, I assume when PostgreSQL is down, an other errormessage is
returned?

Switch to using non-persistent connections will probably help until you
can isolate the exact problem...
