Hi,
First, i didn't find a resolution to my problem in the archives ...
I use Postgresql 7.4 and I have a big problem dumping databases :
This is the view from the command line (postmaster launched on port 5228
to isolate it from other requests) :
pluton:/etc/init.d # ./postgres start
Starting postgres: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster [8856 8855 8853]
pluton:/etc/init.d # /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dumpall -p5228 > /var/toto.txt
pg_dump: socket not open
pg_dump: SQL command to dump the contents of table "produit" failed:
PQendcopy() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: socket not open
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.produit (ref_maj, des_maj,
code_barre, code_rayon, code_tva, poids, ref_maj_subst, code_fabr,
prix_cession, prix_ht, prix_ref_ht, code_fourn, mnemo, conditionnement,
bareme, code_remise, code_modif, pos_ufipa, nomen_ufipa, code_monnaie,
code_gestion, code_barre_gros, code_barre_carton, qte_par_carton,
qte_par_palette, nomen_douane, code_pays_douane, new_ref_fourn,
code_rattach, ref_uc_maj, qte_mult_uc, dim_h, dim_l, dim_p, volume,
date_diff_maj, date_appli_maj, qte_max_cde, actif, blister, dispo,
ref_ol, pv_ol, fdpsupp, toxique, ref_mobilier, tarif_d) TO stdout;
pg_dumpall: pg_dump failed on database "officeliner_db", exiting
pluton:/etc/init.d # ./postgres stop
Stopping postgres: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster [8856 8855 8853]

Here is the view from /var/log/messages :

I tried to do a pg_dumpall with the 8.1 version but it does the same, it
seems that it is the server which crashes !
here is the core dump result whith gdb

Do you have any idea ?
I tried this dump in an other box before. And it did the same ! I
transfered it from one to the other copying the files of the Data Dir !
