Hi Simon,
We're using version 1.1.0 of repmgr, against PostgreSQL 9.0.4-1~bpo60+1 (ie. the version from backports) on Debian
squeeze.
To complicate matters, we have several postgresql instances per machine, using Debian's pg cluster stuff. This seems to
workelsewhere with repmgr though (as long as we make sure the ports are specified in the repmgr configs).
However, I'm not having any success even with just the default/single instance of pg either at the moment.
Cheers,
Toby
