Re: Re: Database Recovery Help...

Hi John,

What OS are you running it on?

For example, I've been told that Debian Linux puts its socket files in
/var/run/postgresql instead of /tmp/.

The idea here, is to find that socket file and remove it.  For most
OS's, it's in /tmp/ but for yours it might not be, especially if you've
installed from a package (rpm, deb, etc).

It's something to look into.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
