[pgpool-general: 6718] Can't restart pgpool on SLAVE node (that is primary postgres server)

[Giancarlo Celli]

Hi,
I had to kill the pgpool process to change the master on the other node. 
I also removed the pgpool.pid.
Now this is the situation:

NODE A:
- Master pgpool ON
- Standby postgres ON

NODE B:
- Slave pgpool DOWN
- Primary postgres ON

My problem is that if I try to restart pgpool on NODE B (SLAVE pgpool), 
it not works.
In the log I see that initially it starts up correctly, but then the 
following error appears and pgpool goes down again:

FATAL:  failed to bind a socket: "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"
DETAIL:  bind socket failed with error: "Address already in use"
LOG:  Watchdog is shutting down

I cannot stop postgres because it is primary server.
What can I do for start pgpool on SLAVE pgpool?

Best regards.
