Hi,
I've an application running on RedHat Linux and we are using Postgres as our DB. 
Initially the DB was running perfectly but due to
some requirement we stopped the DB with " pg_ctl stop -m 'fast' " command. When I 
tried to restart the DB/Postmaster it says :

StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Cannot assign requested address
        Is another postmaster already running on port 5432?
        If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
 cannot create INET stream port

Since I don't have root access , I took the help of the Sysadmin to reboot the system 
and the DB server(POSTGRES) started correctly
, but when I stopped the DB server with above mentioned command and started again it 
throws back the same old error. Is there anyway
to get rid of these.

I found some details in archieves at 
http://list.linux-vserver.org/archive/vserver/msg04095.html . But I don't understand 
what to do
next.

The O/P of >netstat -plunt | grep 5432

(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:54320           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -      
             
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:54321           0.0.0.0:*                           -      
   

And O/P of netstat -ranv

Any pointers/help in resolving this issue will be highly appreciated.

Thanx and regards
