When I start the postmaster it seems ok. But there is no process
running.
Then it didn't really start successfully. (Unless you use the -w
option, "pg_ctl start" just launches the postmaster --- it doesn't
wait around to see what happens.) You need to look into the log
file to see what the problem was.
Ok, it's a bit confusing for a non-admin-user to enter into the pg-
config to find out what parameters one has to uncomment in order to
get the log working. Succeed after some while, got the postmaster
working:
827 p2 S 0:00.22 /usr/local/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/
pgsql/data TERM=xterm-color SHELL=/bin/bash USER=postgres
__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x1F6:0:0 P
829 p2 S 0:00.01 postgres: writer process
830 p2 S 0:00.00 postgres: stats buffer process
831 p2 S 0:00.00 postgres: stats collector process
What would you recommend now in order to get the data back? I have
postgis data in the databases too, although this is not too important
for me...
Thanks you so much for all your help!
