Hello,
I've had a number of problems with Postgres in passed few days.
First ,I had an issue with a corrupt index. One solution required
that I stop and start postgres so it would read the postgresql.conf
file. It looked like it was stopping but it wasn't. I finally had
to kill the processes. The problem was that postgres didn't thing
the pg_ctl was running. Then I realized I had not set the parameter
that I needed to set quite high enough so I had to stop and restart
it again. It didn't stop again but this time I got the following
message:
# /etc/init.d/cswpostgres stop
Stopping PostgreSQL database...
waiting for server to shut
down...............................................................
failed
pg_ctl: server does not shut down
Can anyone help unravel this?
Thanks in advance,
Carol
