What I'm guessing is that the server started just fine, but the Debian
initscript is trying to connect to it (to verify that it started) and
that's failing because of the change in authentication options. You
might have to remove the -w option from pg_ctl, or some such, in the
script ... or else fix things so that root is allowed to connect ...
Hi Tom, Thank you for the idea!
But how should I do this? I thought pg_ctl is a binary file, how should I make change of it? And for "or else fix
thingsso that root is allowed to connect ...", what should I do with this? Would you please give me more hints?
Thanksalot!!!
