(I checked with commands `ps -A | grep postmaster` and `netstat -plunt | grep 5432`): # service postgresql stop Stopping postgresql service: [ OK ] # netstat -plunt | grep 5432 # ps -A | grep postmaster # rm /var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log rm: remove regular file `/var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log'? y # service postgresql start Starting postgresql service: [ OK ] # cat /var/lib/pgsql/pgstartup.log LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
