I've tried installation 8.4 and 9.0 on two different machines, and at the end can't start Postgresql. Here's the basic story:

You can't change shmall & shmmax after boot. They must be set during startup. If you're on a recent version of OS X, you do this in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Well, I changed them at the shell and in sysctl, and restarted (on both machines).


Also the /usr/bin/postgres that you seen running is not where macports puts it and not the one you tried to start a couple of lines earlier, so you have something already installed on your system that is running a postgres instance.

Yes, I forgot that machine was running Lion Server (with Postgresql already running).

However, on the other computer, running regular 10.7, the same problem persists, without a /usr/bin version.

Is the server running locally and accepting

So one thing that's odd, I have two version of postgresql apparently running (although I've removed 9.0 from Macports)… Not sure if this is the cause. Any other suggestions?

Best regards,
