Unable to bind server on port 5433 when starting DB

info4km

I just had the database running. I restarted the server and now I am receiving the following error in the dbLog file, "FATAL: Unable to bind server on port 5433". Any ideas what would cause this?
Thanks in advance

had you enabled the Vertica load balancer?

Hi info4km,

It appears that vertica cluster is not able to bind itself with port 5433 ( default ). Did you have a look in your vertica.log file and also check /var/log/messages file. To see any abnormality.

Can you verify following points to see if all configuration is in its place ?

I hope you running this system over Linux flavour.

1) Verify the port number in your admintools.conf file.
2) Can you see if, port 5433 is in listening mode or not ?

netstat -utln | grep 5433

3) if you cannot see it in netstat output. Check it is enabled in your /etc/services file.

Regards,
Raghav
