Hi, Again.
I tried this and got the same message. It is as follows:
-bash-3.00$ /opt/csw/postgresql/bin/pg_ctl -D
/dbpdisk/postgres/prod_823 -m fas
t stop
pg_ctl: PID file "/dbpdisk/postgres/prod_823/postmaster.pid" does not
exist
Is server running?
Are there other ideas?
Carol, what does:
ps -ef | grep postgres
return?
If postgres is really running, there should be a postmaster process that
shows which directory it's using as the DATA directory. It'll look
something like this:
postgres 24080 1 0 09:49 ? 00:00:07 /usr/bin/postmaster -p
5432 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
If there isn't a postmaster, it's possible someone started postgres with
the -D option directly.
If you have multiple postgres server's running on the same machine,
you'll see multiple postmasters.
BTW: What operating system is this running under? If linux, which
distribution?
