I've tried upgrading the installation on our RH 6.2 network from 7.1.0 to
7.1.3 by rebuilding the source rpm. All this goes well, but when I try to
start the postmaster (as user 'postgres') I see this error:
[postgres@salmo rshepard]$ postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data/
FATAL 2: open("/var/lib/pgsql/data//global/pg_control") failed: No such
file or directory
I don't understand the double forward slash, however, pg_control _is_ in
/var/lib/pgsql/data.
What might you suggest I do to to get past this problem of getting the
postmaster running again so postgres is usable here?
I did see a reference -- somewhere -- saying that this was a known upgrade
bug and the web sites had a solution. But, I can't find that solution when I
go looking for it.
Many thanks,
Rich
