Hi All I am using postgresql 7.2 on Linux. It does not start when i am trying this /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql restart. It give an error saying "postmaster already running". I have done rm -f /var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid and rm -f /var/run/postmaster.pid
Try to find out, if the postmaster if really up by doing something like ps -e | grep postmaster.
Then you may want to take a look in the script /etc/init.d/postgresql.
Where is the PID-File actually placed ?
It looks like you are trying to remove the PID-File without really knowing where it is supposed to be placed ?!
The next option you have is to take a look at some logfiles (e.g var/log/messages or something depending on your settings).
Greetings, Martin
