Re: Server Shutting Down

Other than shutting down unexpectedly the server works fine.

I now have the server running as a remote host on my computer. I have been
running it on localhost.

It was shutting down when I was attempting to connect with my application. I
didn't think too much about it figuring I would find the problem in my app.
However when PG Admin force the server to close I began to think it was
something else.

I simply clicked 'connect' in PG Admin and got the error.

There are 6 databases and I make a single connection to one of them (still
in development stage).

I can't be sure wheter PG Admin forced a shutdown when I was on localhost
although my application attempting to conect did force a shutdown.

A simple 'stop' then 'start' resolves the immediate problem.
