I'd guess that you didn't do an initdb and tried to run an 8.0 server with a 7.4 cluster. See the "Installation Instructions" chapter of the documentation, in particular the "If You Are Upgrading" section; see also "Migration Between Releases" in the "Backup and Restore" chapter and the documentation for initdb: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/installation.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/migration.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/app-initdb.html -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
