Hi, folks! Due to a hardware (hard disk) problem, we've tried to restore a postgresql filesystem backup (taken from what was left on the drive) to a fresh Postgresql install (as stated in http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/backup-file.html), checking the appropiate ownership, privileges, etc. But when trying to start Postgresql with the recovered location, we get the following error: " * Error: The server must be started under the locale : which does not exist any more." Note that the message doesn't say which locale is (allegedly) missing!!! Both the crashed and the recovery machines have exactly the same locales, Postgresql version, etc (Debian Etch standard with postgresql-8.1 from main repositories), which makes the message a little confusing. Google didn't help much, either (I've found http://www.pg-forum.de/konfiguration/888-umzug-des-ordners-pgdata-auf-anderen-server.html but can't really understand german). Any hints to where should we look will be greatly appreciated! ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
