Hi!
I am a graduate student and I am doing a project using POSTGRES.
I installed POSTGRES on MY account, compiled it and ran 'initdb'. Till then
everything was ok.
But when I gave 'postmaster &' command next, I got the message
StreamServerPort: cannot bind to port
postmaster: cannot create stream port.

It would be a great help if you can tell me where the problem is. Thanks for
reading my mail.

Yours sincerely,
venkat
