I still cannot get pg_dump to work since I fixed the system yesterday. This
is a real mess and I need to make sure I have a current backup.
-I upgraded from 6.4 -> 6.4.2 and applied the 2GB patch
-I did "initdb" from the postgres user account
-I cannot get pg_dump to work:
-------
[tim@db /]$ pg_dump db_domain > /fireball/pg_dumps/db_domain.dump
pg_dump error in finding the template1 database
-------
At this point, the postmaster dies and restarts.
I think I'm getting to where I need some real help getting this thing to
dump again.
The database is up and running just fine - I just cannot dump.
Any tips or advice is GREATLY needed and appreciated at this point. All I
need is it to take a dump ;-)
