Hi...I could not fire the following command after installing postgresql.

postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data/   ( My conf file resides at /var/lib/pgsql/data/ )

It gives me the following error.

LOG:  could not bind IPv4 socket: Address already in use
HINT:  Is another postmaster already running on port 5433? If not, wait a few seconds and retry.
WARNING:  could not create listen socket for "127.0.0.1"
FATAL:  could not create any TCP/IP sockets

Please help me out asap.I have enclosed my postgresql.conf file hereby.

Thanks and Regards,

that seems self-evident to me.

I fail to see how this is a bug report.

you also left out the details like what OS and version you're running,
how you installed postgres (many platforms have multiple choices), and
what version of postgresql this is.

a side note, you rarely if ever manually start postgres that way, rather
on most platforms the installer adds system service scripts, so for
example on a RHEL 5 or 6 system, you'd use

$ sudo service postgresql-9.3 start
