What happens if you run the "su" command that starts the postmaster directly from the command line? That is, the "su" on line 151 (you'll have to set the PGDATA environment variable or replace it with the path to your data directory): su -l postgres -s /bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p /usr/bin/postmaster start What's the output of the following command? ls -l /bin/sh /usr/bin/pg_ctl /usr/bin/postmaster /usr/bin/postgres -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
