Is there some other step I've missed that will get postgres to start?
Did you also follow the instructions the postgresql82-server port printed? To create a database instance, after install do sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql82/bin/initdb -D /opt/ local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb' To tweak your DBMS, consider increasing kern.sysv.shmmax by adding an increased kern.sysv.shmmax .. to /etc/sysctl.conf -- Daniel J.
