[postgis-users] general postgreSQL

[Eric.Hillmuth at anr.state.vt.us]

Its more related to PostgreSQL than PostGIS but I haven't gotten there yet... Has 
anyone run into an error like this from the postmaster on startup:

LOG: could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use
HINT: is another postmaster already running on port 5432. If not, wait a few seconds 
and retry.

I can confirm that port 5432 is opened by the postmaster at startup and closed at 
shutdown with netstat etc. but I don't know why it prints this error. I'm running 
PostgreSQL 7.4 on SUSE 8.4. 

Any thoughts are appreciated.
