Yesterday I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4. Unfortunately this has caused me serious problems with everything related to postgreSQL. It seems as though the new version of ubuntu is requiring me to use PostgreSQL 8.4 instead of 8.3 which I was previously using. I tried installing 8.4 but I can't seem to get the database to start. Has anyone had a similar problems?
You are probably going to have to do an initdb. 8.4 db is not compatible 8.3 db. I ran into this with Fedora when they went from 8.3 to 8.4 in the middle of the life of Fedora 12 - luckily I had been doing daily pg_dumps so all I had to do was initdb under 8.4 and psql < my backup. -- Stephen Clark NetWolves Sr. Software Engineer III Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx www.netwolves.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
