Starting Postmaster

I am trying to use PostgreSQL 7.1 which came with the SuSe 7.3 distribution
that I have.

I am using documentation postgre.org.

postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data should start the
postmaster.

I get several DEBUG messages with the last message stating " database system
is in production state".

The system does not complete the task. It stays on this last message. I have
interupt to get back to the postgres prompt.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing. Why is it doing this?

Try adding an & sign to the end to put the process in the background. I
believe it is running until you interrupt it.

Hi, In my web form, which registers email addresses, my php script does some email validation, but people still mistype email addresses which are in a valid format but don't exist. PHP tries to send them an email, using the mail() function and an error is bounced back to postmaster@server.name How can I make sure that the errors aren't bounced back to the postmaster? He doesn't like them! Thnks, Mike

I finally decided to start using those, I think I have a good enough idea of how they work, but I still have a few questions First, is an iterator really a pointer to an item, I mean, will this work : std::list <CObject> ObjectList; CObject* NewObject() { ObjectList.push_back( CObject());

I have one process which writes a single float into 300 columns once per second. I then run 4 process, from remote computers, to query a small subset of the latest row. I have even commented out everything in the query programs, all they do is sleep, and the associated postmaster still sucks up 15% - 20% CPU. Computer is a P4 /w 1Gig memory, all disk access is local. RH9 /w stock postgresql-7.3 installed.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Could anyone explain about the max_connections in postgres? We ran into the connection limit on one of our production servers. One reason is that we have more apps that use postgres running on it (RT3 and Webcollab were added not long ago). Webcollab, for instance, seems to keep 7 postmaster processes all to itself. Is this normal? Does postgres work similarly to how apache handles spawning spare...

Hello all, I sure hope someone can help me out as I'm having the worst time trying to get this upgraded server running. I just upgraded to 7.4.1 (running on FreeBSD, upgraded through the ports collection if it means anything to anyone). To make a long story short, the server doesn't appear to be starting. I tried the normal start up script of course, and even running pg_ctl manually as the database superuser. I've even gone so far as to:...

I'm writing a small test harness. I have two threads. One that starts the postmaster and another that does all the testing and finally stops the postmaster with a pg_ctl stop. At present, the second thread starts with a sleep sufficient to ensure that the postmaster is running. Is there a proper way to test when the postmaster is ready to receive commands? Kind regards, Thomas Hallgren

Hello all, I met a problem about cannot start postmaster. The situation I met is that I was running postmaster, but because of the server closed all my konsole. As a result, I did not shutdown postmaster successfully. Next time, when I tried to run postmaster -D /usr/local/postgresql/data, I got the following error: FATAL: lock file "/usr/local/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid" already exists

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
