Good day.


Please, help me to run my postgres DB.

Here is problem description.

I have 2 instances in /var/lib/postgresql/8.3:

main
mine

When I start postgres server w/ command:

/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start

I get:

Starting PostgreSQL 8.3 database server: main mineThe PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output. failed!
failed!

In the appropriate logs I have:

for the main:

2010-01-31 13:31:00 GMT-7 LOG: could not load root certificate file "root.crt": no SSL error reported
2010-01-31 13:31:00 GMT-7 DETAIL: Will not verify client certificates.

2010-01-31 13:31:00 GMT-7 LOG: database system is ready to accept connections

and for the mine:

2010-01-31 13:31:03 GMT-7 LOG: could not load root certificate file "root.crt": no SSL error reported
2010-01-31 13:31:03 GMT-7 DETAIL: Will not verify client certificates.
2010-01-31 13:31:03 GMT-7 LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use

2010-01-31 13:31:03 GMT-7 WARNING: could not create listen socket for "localhost"
2010-01-31 13:31:03 GMT-7 FATAL: could not create any TCP/IP sockets

So, I can not connect to the databases from "mine".
From the logs I do understand that "mine" have a concurrency w/ the "main" - but I did not change postgres configuration - as far as I remember, - and since I installed postgres I used both - main and mine - w/o any concurrency.

So, what is wrong? Or how I can fix it?


PS Reading of the install and run chapters of the postgres documentation gave me no ideas, as well as searching on Internet - relating to my problem.

Thanks for Your time.

PS Please, reply to the list.

Most likely the cluster 'main' is already listening on port 5432. Try
configuring either 'main' or 'mine' to listen on another port, say
5433, by editing the cluster's postgresql.conf.

Yes, it did the trick w/ changing socket dir. to /tmp. And it works, still, I'm sure, I did not change it. Weird it went this way.
