I wish to run an instance of PG-9.2 concurrently with our production version (9.1). I have changed the listening port number. listen_addresses = 'pgsql-dbms.hamilton.harte-lyne.ca, localhost' #port = 5432 # (change requires restart) port = 5433 However, I am getting this error when I try to start the new version while the old one is still running. Is there something else I must do to accomplish this? Why is the lock file using the default port number for this instance? cat ../pgstartup.log 2012-12-14 09:13:41 EST : LOG: XX000: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use 2012-12-14 09:13:41 EST : HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432?
