Having a bit of an issue with PostgreSQL on Mac OS X 10.8.4. I accidentally did brew rm postgresql --force while the postgres server was running. When I installed using brew install postgresql and ran pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start I get: pg_ctl: another server might be running; trying to start server anyway server starting FATAL: lock file "postmaster.pid" already exists HINT: Is another postmaster (PID 752) running in data directory "/usr/local/var/postgres"? when I run "ps -ef | grep postgres" I get: 501 752 235 0 12:42PM ?? 0:00.01 /usr/local/opt/postgresql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres -r /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log 501 754 752 0 12:42PM ?? 0:00.00 postgres: checkpointer process 501 755 752 0 12:42PM ?? 0:00.34 postgres: writer process 501 756 752 0 12:42PM ?? 0:00.02 postgres: wal writer process 501 757 752 0 12:42PM ?? 0:00.01 postgres: autovacuum launcher process 501 758 752 0 12:42PM ?? 0:00.01 postgres: stats collector process 501 945 452 0 12:58PM ttys000 0:00.00 grep postgres when I try to stop the server with pg_ctl stop -D /usr/local/var/postgres -m fast or pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -mi I get: waiting for server to shut down...........................................
