Hi all! I couldn't find a way to make my DB server work again. I did this: in postgres user killall -9 postmaster (I wanted to stop the server) then rm /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 I tried to restart the server but I got this error: [postgres@aux-209-217-53-170 postgres]$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/ IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Identifier removed) key=5432010, size=144, permi ssion=700 This type of error is usually caused by an improper shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration. For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our web site at http://www.postgresql.org. IpcMemoryIdGet: shmget failed (Identifier removed) key=5432010, size=144, permis sion=0 IpcMemoryAttach: shmat failed (Invalid argument) id=-2 FATAL 1: AttachSLockMemory: could not attach segment What I can do?? Help me please! Thank you for your replys, also I want to know how to stop a pg server that is running in the background.
