Even the command pg_ctl -D /home/data/www/pg7/data start
Does not start the server, I mean the message I get on running the
command, is:
postmaster successfully started
But the status still shows,
pg_ctl: postmaster or postgres is not running
Also when I try to access psql, it gives me the following error..
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?

pg_ctl doesn't take a -p argument for the port. -p is reserved for the
path to the postmaster. Try:
pg_ctl -D /home/data/www/pg7/data start
