[postgis-users] Starting the postmaster version8.2: pg_ctl <->postmaster

[Obe, Regina]

Are you running on Linux?  If you are, it looks like you are missing the start command.  I think the syntax is
 
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl start -l logfile -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
according to the 
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/server-start.html

Hi,

I've upgraded postgres & postgis to the latest version available.
I used to start the postmaster with the -i flag and -D- flag to
be able to connect from outside. 
I see there's no postmaster.exe in version 8.2 of postgresql,
so I use this command: pg_ctl -D "<mydatadirectory>" start.
Yet, I can't connect to my db. 
Can someone confirm me this is the way to start the postmaster
in 8.2 ?

Regards,
Steven
