I have a 9.2.4 (CentOS 6.5) standby that has been working with no problems using log shipping. I wanted to add streaming replication which I thought would be as simple as adding primary_conninfo to recovery.conf and restarting the standby. But on restart there is no message or error about connecting to the primary for replication. pg_stat_replication is empty on the primary and I don't see any errors on the primary either. Here is what I have on the standby: postgresql.conf hot_standby = on max_wal_senders = 2 wal_level = hot_standby recovery.conf standby_mode = 'on' trigger_file = '/pgsql/9.2/data/failover.trigger' primary_conninfo = 'host=localhost port=21333 user=postgres' restore_command = 'pg_standby -t /pgsql/9.2/data/failover.trigger /shared/pgbackup %f %p %r' archive_cleanup_command = 'pg_archivecleanup /shared/pgbackup %r' I have a ssh tunnel setup on localhost and have verified the replication user can connect to the primary. Am I missing something obvious? Do I have to back up the primary again to make this change?
