hello, I am trying to setup a "hot standby" on a second machine. I have created a "recovery.conf" file and started a restore with logs from the primary machine. everything was OK. now a have new transaction logs generated by the primary machine and I want to "play" them on the secondary one. I have stopped postgres, recreated "recovery.conf", started postgres and I get the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------- LOG: database system was shut down at 2005-05-23 05:19:34 PDT LOG: starting archive recovery LOG: restore_command = "/usr/cbmp/core/bin/restore_pg_tlog %f %p" LOG: restored log file "0000000100000008000000C4" from archive LOG: invalid resource manager ID 53 at 8/C4FFFEF8 LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record LOG: restored log file "0000000100000008000000C4" from archive LOG: invalid resource manager ID 52 at 8/C4FFFEBC LOG: invalid secondary checkpoint record PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record LOG: startup process (PID 18297) was terminated by signal 6 LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure LOG: logger shutting down ---------------------------------------------------------------- what is the procedure for creating a "hot standby" (continuously feeding a series of WAL files created by the primary machine into the secondary one) ?
