Sir, I encountered a problem when my postgres 6.5.3 stop running. I attempted to run the postmaster but an error was displayed on my screen which goes like this: [root@hindang bin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart Stopping postgresql service: [FAILED] Checking postgresql installation: looks good! Starting postgresql service: FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: Permission Is another postmaster already running on that port? If not, remove socket node (/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432) and retry. /usr/bin/postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port failed. I would appreciate it very much if you can help me fix this problem. Manny C.
