Re: Starting Postmaster

First of all, thanks Tom for your information regarding memory contexts

Now, I have a problem.

I had set the debug option on in the postgres.conf file.
Now, when I start the Postmaster, I get the following: (I have copied
the screen dump here)
-----------------------screen dump starts-----------------------------

I don't know why this is happening. Also, I am not able to use psql
(the interactive application to enter SQL commands).

The main thing I would like to say here is that postgres is installed
in my home directory not in the root, as I don't have permission to
access root directory. Also, this is because, I am going to be the
sole user of postgres. That is why, I installed it in my home
directory.

Please provide a solution to this problem. Your solution to this
problem will be very much appreciated and will be of great help to me.

Thanks in advance.
