The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/server-start.html Description:
Hello, I am currently facing an issue on Servers that are running PostgreSQL 9.5 started from systemd, and in the case when the Servers power offs the hard way, and I restart it, I get an error "another server might be running; trying to start server anyway" The Documentation section "17.3.1. Server Start-up Failures" should maybe mention that error and explain, in which cases postgresql thinks that it is still running, because neither the port is already taken, or are there logfiles on the server. I also tried to remove postmaster.pid before starting postgres, but this strangely doesn't help either.
