If you're going to run 7.2 then you should run the latest version, 7.2.8, because earlier versions have serious data-loss bugs. But since 7.2 is no longer supported, I'd recommend upgrading to a modern version like 8.1.4 as soon as possible. As for getting the postmaster running, what's the output of the su command that I've requested a couple of times? When did this problem start? What has changed since the last time the postmaster started successfully? -- Michael Fuhr
