Re: How do I start postmaster with -i for tcp-ip

Thanks for the help but I still can't get it to work..

This is what is in my startup file:

su -l -s /bin/sh postgres -c "LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D $PGDATA -p/
usr/bin/postmaster start >/dev/null 2>&1" < /dev/null

I have tried to put -i or -i\ in serveral places mostly after $PGDATA and it
fails to load. w/out -i it works fine???

I just want to use JDBC and it says it needs to have the TCP/IP support.
Should I just give up and use MYSQL???

PS I have no clue what the password for the user postgres is?

I also tried to add -i to my postmaster.opts file but that seems to
overwritten on each startup??
