    When you write "commented out hot_standby=on" I presume you mean "removed the #-comment-mark before, to actually enable hot_standby" :) If not in hot_standby, the db will always be "starting up" by design (it's warm standby, ready for fail-over, but not querying). Note, that if you made the base-backup dump without having wal_level = hot_standby on the master and then turned on hot_stanby on the slave, you will have to re-dump and re-init the slave db for hot_standby to get up and running. Otherwise you will get some fatal errors. Commented Mar 21, 2018 at 10:16
