Обсуждение: error while starting database
I am using postgres 7.0 on linux platform.
My java application was running fine ,but i got this message
Connection refused. Check that the hostname and port is correct, and that
the postmaster is r
unning with the -i flag, which enables TCP/IP networking.

When i am connecting as su via su - postgres
at bash: when i give psql Database Name
It is giving error:
psql: connectDBStart() -- connect() failed: No such file or directory
Is the postmaster running at 'localhost'
and accepting connections on Unix socket '5432'?
when i am using pg_ctl status command:
it gives output: pg_ctl: postmaster is running (pid: 776)
options are:
/usr/bin/postmaster
-p 5432
-D /var/lib/pgsql/data
-B 64
-b /usr/bin/postgres
-i
-N 32
when i am using pg_ctl stop it gives
/usr/bin/pg_ctl: kill: (776) - No such pid
postmaster successfully shut down.
when i am using pg_ctl restart it gives
bash-2.04$ pg_ctl restart
/usr/bin/pg_ctl: kill: (776) - No such pid
Waiting for postmaster shutting
down...............................................................pg_ctl:
postmaster does not shut down
when i am giving pg_ctl start:
pg_ctl: It seems another postmaster is running. Try to start postmaster
anyway.
FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: No such file or directory
Is another postmaster already running on that port?
If not, remove socket node (/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432) and retry.
pg_ctl: Cannot start postmaster. Is another postmaster is running?
bash-2.04$ /usr/bin/postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port.
Expecting your kind help on urgent.

PostgreSQL version 7.0 is really, really out of date, but as far as I
know, it should still work.
I generally use "ps -ax | grep postges" to see if there is a postgres
process running. Also, I use "netstat -a" to see open sockets and
listening servers.
Have you removed the socket file in /tmp and tried to start the
server? You may also want to check the server log to see if there is
any indication of why it crashed. Once you clean up the residue from
the server that abended, you'll be able to start it again, unless
there are serious problems with the database. I've only seen one
case where I couldn't get the server restarted, though, and that was
after a hard drive failure caused corruption in several files. Even
then, I was able to recover everything.
BTW: the socket file ("/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432") will be a hidden file.
You'll need to "ls -a /tmp" to see it. You can just "rm -f /
tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432" as root and that should clean it up for you.
p.s. This is not a bug, and even if it was, I'm sure version 7.0 is
no longer supported. You may want to use a different list if you
require additional assistance.

Egad. At first I thought that was a typo, but if psql really spelled
its error message just like that, it must indeed be 7.0 or older :-(.
Do yourself a favor and get onto a newer version, NOW. Not tomorrow.
There are hundreds if not thousands of known bugs in 7.0 that are fixed
in more modern versions. Some of them *will* destroy your data.
As for getting out of the immediate problem, it looks like there is
something wrong with the directory that PG wants to put its socket file
into. Perhaps /tmp is not there or not world writable?
regards, tom lane
If it is true that listing /tmp (ls -a /tmp) returns no such file or
directory, then that may be the problem. You should have a world-
writable /tmp folder, as Tom already pointed out. Also, an update to
a more stable version of PostgreSQL is still highly recommended.

Since you do not have a /tmp folder in your filesystem, it may be
that the server cannot create the socket file and so it will not
start. You cannot telnet to port 5432, because no service is
listening on that port. The PostgreSQL server is not started.
I'm sorry I didn't answer you last night. It was 02:00 in the
morning when I got home and sent you the previous message, I went
straight to bed after checking my mail. In any case, the server
specifically calls out an error creating "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432". I
would start by creating a world-writable /tmp folder. If that allows
you to start the service, then you can do a backup with pg_dumpall.

The reason these commands aren't working for you is you're not putting any
space between the switch and the filename. I suggest doing some basic
studying of Unix command line stuff...

All I can tell you, based on this information, Nitin, is that your postmaster is not started, and it is failing to start for some reason. Without any additional information, there is absolutely nothing I can tell you. Try listing the /var/lib/pgsql/data folder. Verify that it does exist and that it does contain the postgres configuration files, at least. I don't have time to teach you everything you need to know to administer a Un*x system or to be a DBA. If you were encountering a specific error, I'm sure someone could help you isolate it. However, this is the bugs list, as I pointed out before, it is not the correct list for determining how to configure your server. Once you get the server started, you should be able to dump your database and upgrade your software.
