The shared memory request, according to the error message, was for ~20 MB, far less than the 135 MB minimum limit you put in the kernel. You'll need to lower the limit or raise your request size, probably with regards to shared_buffers, as I think you're only allocating 2 MB to shared_buffers. You'll want to raise that on a production machine. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
