[Pgpool-general] pgpool Pid Error

[Ger Apeldoorn]

Hi Rahul,

Check that the file you moved is an init-script (which accepts the start 
and stop parameters) and not the pgpool binary itself.

If you created the pid-directory, make sure the user that pgpool runs as 
has write access to it.

Greetings,
Ger Apeldoorn
