Hi again

pg_ctl start is running

pg_ctl start -l logfile -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
could not change directory to "/root"
server starting
*********************************************************************
Sir there is no any problem if we start rather than reload it.

******************************************************************
but if i write
pg_ctl reload -l logfile -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
could not change directory to "/root"
pg_ctl: PID file "/var/lib/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running?

Here i am writing in /var/lib/pgsql/data
the output of the command which u told me is
[root(at)mkd2ts2s-167471 ~]# ps aux | grep postmaster
