Re: Urgent!Can't start postmaster after rebooting

Ola Dood.

Looks like :
A) Your postmaster is not in your default Path add it by
export PATH=$PATH:[path to pgsql bin directory]
B) You are not logged in as the postgres user
su - postgres
C) Your postmaster has disappeared.
Reinstall
D) Your postmaster is not set executable??
chmod u+x postmaster
E) Rather use pg_ctl -D /home/database -o "-i" start 1>> database.log
2>>database.error.log
