I forgot about the log. Anyhow, I can not see from it how to correct the situation: --------------------------------- pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection Smart Shutdown request at Thu Jun 28 08:34:56 2001 Server process (pid 12898) exited with status 512 at Thu Jun 28 17:14:09 2001 Terminating any active server processes...
