Hello all, OS = Windows Server 2012 PostGres = 9.6 I made a replication with the master server. On the slave server service postgre is running, but in log files slave's server "FATAL: the database system is starting up" message will continue. when I try from the command line run the command "psql.exe -U postgres" writes the following error: "psql: ... Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061) ..." My postgresql.conf configuretions is on the slave server: listen_addresses = 'ip slave adress' hot_standby = on wal_receiver_status_interval = 0 hot_standby_feedback = on My recovery.conf configuretions is on the slave server: standby_mode = 'on' primary_conninfo = 'host=ip master server port=5432 user=postgres' primary_slot_name = 'slot_1' trigger_file = 'D:\Postgres Data\Start_master' Could you please to fix this issue? I don't understand what could be the problem. I've made shutdown the server, the problem is not resolved. Thenk you very much! -- Sent from: http://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-admin-f2076596.html
