Hi, I am unable to restart the PostgreSQL. I am using redhat Linux 9
with postgresql 7.4.5. Unexpectedly due to ups problem my server was
shutdown once. After that i am unable to restart the server. How to
stop and start. Present status is running. If i tried to start i am getting as

1)  bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl start
pg_ctl: Another postmaster may be running.  Trying to start postmaster anyway.
FATAL:  database files are incompatible with server
DETAIL:  The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL version 7.3,
which is not compatible with this version 7.4.5.
pg_ctl: cannot start postmaster
Examine the log output.

2)bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl restart
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl: line 274: kill: (5637) - No such process
waiting for postmaster to shut
down................................................................
failed
pg_ctl: postmaster does not shut down

3) bash-2.05b$ pg_ctl stop
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_ctl: line 274: kill: (5637) - No such process
waiting for postmaster to shut
down................................................................
failed
pg_ctl: postmaster does not shut down


Note: Before my server shutdown i can able to do lot of times start /
stop / restart.        But now i am unable to stop it. Please help me.
