Error after switch BD to PostgreSQL

Hi,

Try "netstat -an | grep 50501"

Done! The response was quite meaningless to me, see:

[root@alfresco ~]# netstat -an | grep 50501
tcp 0 0 :::50501 :::* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:56341 ::ffff:127.0.0.1:50501 TIME_WAIT

Important: Most of time the response is only the first line. In the second, when it appears, the number (port?) after the first "127.0.0.1:" changes. I've got "55044" and "57269" for instance. Maybe any instability on the network control?

I'm getting sure that the problem isn't the PostgreSQL but some O.S. configuration.

Best regards,

Hi,

tcp 0 0 :::50501 :::* LISTEN, means that some application is listening on port 50501. That's your problem. You need to kill this application and you'll be able to start Alfresco.

Another option would be to change the ports that Alfresco uses by extending the necessary configuration files (http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Port_numbers).
