I would check where postmaster is trying to create the pid and check if pos=
tgres has permission to write to the folder.
Then Maybe change the location for pid creation.

Check also postgreslog and see if you can spot the error.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you please guide me where could I check
the settings or so to identify where postmaster is trying to create the pid

How are you trying to start the postgres service?
Which user are you trying to start it with?

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. Could you please guide me where could I check t=
he settings or so to identify where postmaster is trying to create the pid =
file?

I would check where postmaster is trying to create the pid and check if pos=

Then Maybe change the location for pid creation.

Check also postgreslog and see if you can spot the error.

Then Maybe change the location for pid creation.

Check also postgreslog and see if you can spot the error.
