Re: Problem Setting DateStyle

Also, and I know this sounds stupid, you may check to see if the database
really restarted. I recently got a new server and for some reason when I
use the restart script found in /etc/init.d/postgres it doesn't actually
restart the server (the shutdown fails) but when I go to the control panel
installed by my ISP it restarts wonderfully. I saw what was happening when
I looked at the date the postgres process started.
