Author FATAL: the database system is starting up
Keve Nagy

Hi Newsgroup,
I have a PostgreSQL 8.0.3 server running on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE.
I noticed lately, that when I restart the server posgres displays the
following message:

postgres[432]: [2-1] FATAL: the database system is starting up

Because of the word FATAL, it appears very scary. But when I had a
closer look, all of the required postmaster processes are running fine
and I can nicely connect to the database using psql.

Could anybody tell me why I get this startup message and how to solve
whatever its problem is!?

Thank you!

Keve

I guess it means that something tried to connect to early during the
startup of the DBMS. This may easily happen if you have shut down the
DBMS but the clients are still trying.. nothing to worry about IMHO.
