database - Postmaster.pid already exists, says PID number is running in directory but no process? -
i'm trying run postgresql 9.6.2 db new project.
when type in
postgres -d /usr/local/var/postgres i following error message:
fatal: lock file "postmaster.pid" exists hint: postmaster (pid 49425) running in data directory "/usr/local/var/postgres"? when list of processes folder, appears:
49425 /usr/local/var/postgres 1491484894 5432 /tmp localhost then when try
kill 49425 it still remains in list
and when enter
pd the 49425 pid number isn't on list.
what going wrong here?
it says there's file /usr/local/var/postgres/postmaster.pid, won't start.
instead of starting postgres postgres -d /usr/local/var/postgres better try pg_ctl -d /usr/local/var/postgres start
