Обсуждение: server registration problems

Hi, I installed postgresql 8.4 and I set port number in installation as 5432. I also installed PostGIS and everything was working well. But now I wanted to create new server with port number 54321 but I can't do it because it gives me error ''Server doesn't listen''. I was reading about that in the postgre documentation, I know that I must set listen_addresses='*' but it's already done, so I really don't know where is a problem. Probably it's because i put port number as 5432 in installation process but is there no way to add lately new server with different port?? I would really appreciate if you could help me. Thank you very much!

The usual.  What OS, what method of installation, what pg version etc.
 Also exact things you did / typed in to get that error message etc.
for instance in ubuntu I'd just do this:

sudo pg_createcluster -p54321 8.4 mycluster

to do this.  But on other OSes the steps may be quite different.  So,
what exactly are you doing to try and make this happen?
