Обсуждение: starting posgresql for the first time and most probably last :)
I posted this 3 hours ago but haven't seen it in the messages so am reposting( in case other post shows up) Thankyou to all the people who have taken the time to reply my posts, unfortunately nothing has worked. I have removed postgresql and reinstalled from source following the directions from: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/install-post.htm this is the end result... gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src/pl' gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/postgresql-7.4.2/src' postgreSQL installation complete.

After CTRL+Z write bg into the console to run the postmaster process in background. And now you can connect to the server. DAQ

So, doing a ctrl-z just put the postmaster to sleep in the background. A ps -ef would have shown you that it was in fact still there waiting for you to tell it what to do next. To get it to run in the background to needed to do a bg command after your ctrl-z. As for the IPv6, it could be the kernel doesn't have IPv6 loaded. Maybe kernel module needed to be loaded? Sorry if you've heard all this before but I just wanted to cover the basics first. David
