Sir,
I am able to run initdb as mentioned in your installation
procedure.
but i can't start postmaster.
when i am using the command ..
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ -l logfile start
in logfile it is givin error message like this..,
(IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=1245184, 03600) failed:
Invalid argument
This error can be caused by one of three things:
1. The maximum size for shared memory segments on your system was
exceeded. You need to raise the SHMMAX parameter in your kernel
to be at least 1245184 bytes.
2. The requested shared memory segment was too small for your system.
You need to lower the SHMMIN parameter in your kernel.
3. The requested shared memory segment already exists but is of the
wrong size. This is most likely the case if an old version of
PostgreSQL crashed and didn't clean up. The `ipcclean' utility
can be used to remedy this.
The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about
shared memory configuration.
This is first time i am installing postgres
can you please mail me what that problem means and what steps should i
take to overcome
this problem.
Awaiting for your kind reply,
-suresh
