Greetings. I installed postgresql-9.1 via apt-get on ubuntu 11.10.
Was there another Postgres instance already installed on this machine?
At first, it wouldn't start because of a missing pg_xlog directory. So I manually created it.
Did you initdb a new data directory?
Then, it wouldn't start, because of the following: 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2012-03-18 12:17:07 EDT 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: creating missing WAL directory "pg_xlog/archive_status" 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000010000000000000001" (log file 0, segment 1): No such file or directory 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000010000000000000001" (log file 0, segment 1): No such file or directory 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: invalid secondary checkpoint record 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: startup process (PID 3343) was terminated by signal 6: Aborted 2012-03-18 13:18:20 EDT LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure After searching, I found a recommendation to execute 'pf_resetxlog', but that utility is nowhere to be found, even by using 'find' on the entire HDD. Now I am at a standstill. Where can I find ''pg_resetxlog"?
Should be in the $PG_BIN/ with the other commands initdb, psql, creatdb, etc. Before you do that I would spend some time determining exactly what your situation is. The missing pg_xlog error earlier would seem to indicate potentially bigger issues.
