###Logfile says: IpcSemaphoreCreate: semget(key=5432004, num=17, 03600) failed: No space left on device This error does *not* mean that you have run out of disk space. It occurs when either the system limit for the maximum number of semaphore sets (SEMMNI), or the system wide maximum number of semaphores (SEMMNS), would be exceeded. You need to raise the respective kernel parameter. Alternatively, reduce PostgreSQL's consumption of semaphores by reducing its max_connections parameter (currently 64). The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about configuring your system for PostgreSQL. ############ I lowered the #max_connections = 64 max_connections = 32 And it started perfectly thanks for the help Greetz Toon.
