Hmm, the "default max_connections" and "default shared_buffers" values are pretty fishy: those are the minimums that initdb will select if the postgres bootstrap process failed to start with anything larger. I interpret the above as saying that postgres boot won't start at all. What do you see if you start it by hand, ie postgres -boot -x0 template1 regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
