Hello all,
I have written a script which stops postgres on my standby server, executes pg_start_backup on the master, rsync's the
datadirectory and tablespaces over to the standby, executes pg_stop_backup on the master, and attempts to then start
postgresqlon the standby. My problem is the following error when I try to start postgresql on the standby:
* Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server
* The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:

I have tried running pg_resetxlog on both servers, and have verified that pg_hba.conf contains my replication user. I
havealso verified that the password I am supplying in my recovery.conf is correct.
Any ideas why I would get this message? I know that wal_level = hot_standby on the master and the slave.
Thanks,
Brandon
