I keep getting this message again and again in my email box and I don't know what to do ... I haven't touched the config of my server for months ...

what could be the cause of this msg ? What can be done ? I'm clueless ...

so far, i've tried the following to re-enable postgresql:

[root admin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql status
postmaster is stopped
[root admin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Setting up PostgreSQL: ok [6829]
[root admin]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql status
postmaster dead but pid file exists

I tried previously to run postgresql while logged as admin (not root) and it was requesting a password I didn't know ...

[admin admin]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
Setting up PostgreSQL: no database files found. creating...
Password:

what else can be done ?

Please help! Thanks !

As a last resort you can hard restart the whole server. See if that clears something up.

If not.... perhaps some guru's who know what to do ???? :confused:

I have done that but it didn't fix the problem ... :(

still having the problem ...

anybody please help .... :bawling:

Finally found an answer there:
