Hi Experts, I recently uninstalled and trying to reinstall postgresql on gentoo server. however I am not able start its service and getting the below error -

Quote:

# /etc/init.d/postgresql-13 restart
* Stopping PostgreSQL 13 (this can take up to 92 seconds) ...
pg_ctl: PID file "/var/lib/postgresql/13/data/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running?
* Previous attempt failed. Trying RUDE_QUIT.
pg_ctl: PID file "/var/lib/postgresql/13/data/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running? [ !! ]
* ERROR: postgresql-13 failed to stop

To uninstall , I did

Quote:

emerge --unmerge =dev-db/postgresql-13.15-r2

Then to install , I did -

Quote:

emerge =dev-db/postgresql-13.15-r2
emerge --config dev-db/postgresql:13

Please suggest what exactly am I missing here and how to Get over this issue. Thanks in advance.

Instead of using restart, have you tried using start? I'm guessing restart may not try to start since the stop fails.

Code:

root # /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 start
