start >/dev/null 2>&1

Hi Steve,

It indeed sems to be that I need to start Postgresql with the -i option.
Question is how to do that?

In my "/etc/init.d/postgresql" I have the following line to start the
postmaster.

postgres -c "/usr/bin/pg_ctl  -D  $PGDATA -p  /usr/bin/postmaster start
>/dev/null 2>&1

I have tried to add '-i' in several places in this line and to execute it
from the command line, but so far I have not been lucky.

Can you please advise me?

Thanks,

Oscar

PS: the error in httpd/error_log indicates the following:

DBI->connect(dbname=faicom;host=192.168.1.12;port=5432) failed:
PQconnectPoll() -- connect() failed: Connection refused
        Is the postmaster running (with -i) at '192.168.1.12'
        and accepting connections on TCP/IP port '5432'?
 at SL/User.pm line 110
