I'm attempting today to get streaming replication from the Wiki configured on my two 9.1.2 servers: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication I'm on step #6 6. Make a base backup by copying the primary server's data directory to the standby server. $ psql -c "SELECT pg_start_backup('label', true)" $ rsync -a ${PGDATA}/ standby:/srv/pgsql/standby/ --exclude postmaster.pid $ psql -c "SELECT pg_stop_backup()" When I attempt the 1st command listed on my primary (master) server, I get this error: carlos@db1:~$ psql -c "SELECT pg_start_backup('label', true)" psql: FATAL: database "carlos" does not exist Now I'm showing they want me to use the -c switch to connect but no database is defined so is it implied that I need to add 'postgres' maintenance database in there or something else? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
