Hi
I'm in charge of a linux DB server running postgres 7.3.2.
The OS disk recently died taking the postgres installation
with it but the data directory of postgres was on a seperate SCSI
disk and is still OK.
 
I've put in a new OS disk, installed linux on it again, mounted the data
disk, and installed postgres up as far as the "make install" stage. 
Can anyone tell me where to go from here to get postgres to run with the
old DB ?? is all the DB structure information stored in the data directory ?
 
Any help would be appreciated
Colm
