posgresql postmaster would not start



Hallo,

My 486 DX4/100's motherboard gave problems and I borrowed a Pentium 300
Celeron to carry on with my work, connecting my hard disks to it.

Normally when I start my system, posgresql's daemon is started at startup
- but not on the pentium.  The following error message is the result:

Starting PostgreSQL postmaster
FATAL: StreamServerPort: bind() failed: errno=98
        Is another postmaster already running on that port?
        If not, remove socket node (/tmp/.s.PGSQL.<portnr>)and retry.
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port

Can somebody help, please?

Johann.
