Re: pgpool with PostgreSQL 7.4 - Mailing list pgsql-general

What are client_encoding values on these two servers? It seems they do
not match...

When master/slave is disabled, I'm able to show the status and run queries against the master. If I use "pgpool -s s switch" to perform a manual switchover, I am then able to run queries against the slave. But as soon as I try running pgpool with master_slave_mode = true, it stops working and when I try to connect I get the error above ("server closed the connection unexpectedly").
