Hi, I have streaming replication set up, with PostgreSQL 9.3. The entries in recovery.conf on the slave are as follows - standby_mode = 'on' primary_conninfo = 'host=127.0.0.1 port=2345 user=postgres password=password' restore_command = 'cp /pgdata/archive/%f "%p"' trigger_file = ‘/tmp/down.trg’ In postgresql.conf on the slave, I have set hot_standby = on Replication is working fine. The trigger file does get created by the failover script when I shut down the primary. But I just keep getting these entries in the log file in the slave and it does not get promoted. FATAL: could not connect to the primary server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Any suggestions?
Try pg_ctl promote on the standby server to see if it works at all: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/app-pg-ctl.html If it does then maybe your standby cannot 'see' the trigger file.
One more doubt - In https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication, it says " # Note that recovery.conf must be in $PGDATA directory. # It should NOT be located in the same directory as postgresql.conf " postgresql.conf is in $PGDATA. So they will be in the same directory? Regards, Jayadevan
