Hi all; I'm trying to restore from a tar of the filesystem on a debian box and I get xlog errors. I suspect I need to run pg_resetxlog but I cannot find it anywhere, where would I find pg_resetxlog on a debian box that was installed via the deb packages ? or how do I get it ? Thanks in advance.. here's my log startup messages in case it helps: Jul 25 18:40:17 ux-dbs01-atl2 postgres[16042]: [1-1] time:2009-07-25 18:40:17.446 UTC database: LOG: could not load root certificate file "root.crt": no SSL error reported Jul 25 18:40:17 ux-dbs01-atl2 postgres[16042]: [1-2] time:2009-07-25 18:40:17.446 UTC database: DETAIL: Will not verify client certificates.
