Yes I did a search on Google but it didnt give me any clues.............. Although the database is now working fine..... The only thing I did was to change the statement with which i created postgresql logfile... I would do./.../usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >> /usr/local/pgsql/logs/logfile.txt 2>&1 start now I do /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start the database started working fine.....
