In wondering, in my newbie way, why Postgresql wouldn't be outputting to
"the Net," i.e. to my own machine but in TCP/IP, I read over Owen's start-up
script "/etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start" to see that all the stuff
mentioned in it in fact exists. It seems to.
What is more puzzling is that the script even checks for whether or not
"$(NETWORKING)= "no" && exit 0" which sounds like it ought to be doing the
right thing. Yet PGAccess won't start, except with Oliver's cunning
workaround -- suggesting that postmaster is not running in Net mode.
How can this be? Isn't this a contradiction of some sort?

Contradiction. so what else is new?
But while I'm at it, I wonder if anybody knows why directories are named
"rc.d" and "init.d"?
Init seems clear enough, and rc might be resource, I suppose. What's the .d,
or what happened to a, b, and c?

I get that situation too. There is something strangely amiss with the pg_ctrl
script. I just do not use it.

rc.d stands for Run Conditions Directory

Directory file.

Dunno about that: I was starting up with Lamar Owen's postgresql start|stop
script, so the pg_ctrl thing doesn't apply, does it?
See Tom Lane's plausible explanation a couple of days ago in this thread.

Yes, it does for 7.0.2's script. And it's pg_ctl, with no r.

First, try to ping localhost and see what happens. If that doesn't
work, you have a basic network misconfiguration somewhere you're going
to have to trace down.
Next,`attempt to telnet to localhost -- if that doesn't work, you still
have a network problem.
Postmaster can't listen on a nonexistent network interface, even with
-i.
This may also explain AOLserver not listening on port 80 -- what does
AOLserver's error log say about where nssock is listening?
To check for Apache installation, use 'rpm -qa|grep apache'....

.d = "directory"
rc = "runlevel commands" ???
