Well, this is what I am doing: service postgresql-9.2 start Starting postgresql-9.2 service: [FAILED] And this is the log file with the error: cat /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/pgstartup.log 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : LOG: XX000: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry. 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : LOCATION: StreamServerPort, pqcomm.c:438 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : WARNING: 01000: could not create listen socket for "pgsql-dbms.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca" 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : LOCATION: PostmasterMain, postmaster.c:892 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : FATAL: F0001: lock file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432.lock" already exists 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 1299) using socket file "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? 2012-12-14 09:43:38 EST : LOCATION: CreateLockFile, miscinit.c:822 And this is the running instance: service postgresql-9.1 status postgresql-9.1 (pid 1299) is running... So, I am fairly sure that I am trying to get 9.2 started and failing and not trying to start another instance of 9.1. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
