probably the scripts kicks in too early because the "StartupParameters.plist" file is not correct

here's mine
---------------
{
  Description      = "PostGreSQL RDBMS";
  Provides         = ("PostGreSQL");
  Requires         = ("Network", "Resolver");
  Uses             = ("Network Time", "NFS");
  OrderPreference  = "Last";
  Messages         =
   {
      start = "Starting PostGreSQL Services";
      stop  = "Stopping PostGreSQL Services";
   };
}
---------------

and for completeness here is the SystemStarter script

-----------
#!/bin/sh

startPG ()
{
sudo -u pgsql /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l /var/log/postgres/postgres.log -o -i


   /bin/sleep 1 # Just for flashing the note
}

stopPG ()
{
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data stop
}

if /bin/test "$1" = "start"
then
startPG
elif /bin/test "$1" = "stop"
then
stopPG
fi
-----------
may be is not the best system posible but it works well in several tens of servers now

On searching the archives I noticed Bob Smith in Jul, 2002 had a similar
problem to mine, but never posted a solution.


I'm using pgsql 7.4.2 on Mac OS 10.3.4. I installed the startup script for
darwin from the contrib/start-scripts folder. On boot, pgsql startup fails
and I see this error in the pgsql logfile:


    bootstrap_look_up() failed (ipc/send) invalid destination port

After the machine has booted the same startup script works fine.

This appears to be a Mac OS issue. If anyone has any clue what's going on
please let me know.


I've gotten around the problem right now by putting a call to the startup
script directly in /etc/rc, as the last command.

I've never run into this myself. Did you install from source or use Mark Liyanage's package? His package is at http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/

Very easy installation if you're willing to start over.

I've been rolling my own PostgreSQL for quite a while. AFICT there's nothing
wrong with the installation; there's just something wrong with SystemStarter
and pgsql.
