To get the standby server to a point, I tool a globals dump and a data dump of the primary server and build the standby. Then I executed pg_startbackup, rsync data dir to standby data dir (to catch any changes made while I was building the standby) and finally pg_stopbackup... all on the primary. Thank you for the URL. I'll check it out. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Streaming-Replication-Error-on-Standby-tp5791463p5791478.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
