Thread: postgreSQL 7.3.3 crashing on server with Itanium processor...
Hi All , H/W Configuration - Dell 7150 Quad Itanium 1 ( 733 MHz) with 4G RAM OS - Red Hat 7.2 - Postgresql ver 7.3.3 compiled from raw hide red hat rpms. Problem : We were able to install postgreSQL 7.3.3 successfully on this enviornment , but server crashes randomly and throwsfollowing error : ************************************************************************************* LOG: server process (pid 11220) was terminated by signal 11 LOG: terminating any other active server processes LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing shared memory and semaphores LOG: database system was interrupted at 2003-06-17 10:29:08 PDT LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/83CEC8 LOG: redo record is at 0/83CEC8; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction id: 480; next oid: 16976 LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress LOG: ReadRecord: record with zero length at 0/83CF10 LOG: redo is not required LOG: database system is ready FATAL: Database "template0" is not currently accepting connections FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "zippool1" LOG: fast shutdown request LOG: shutting down LOG: database system is shut down *********************************************************************************************** Any help would be highly appreciated ! Thanks in Advance ! Regards
Always check for bad memory when you see sig 11 first. There are bugs that can throw a sig11, but if you see them at random places, with random queries, it's usually bad memory.

My guess is that we don't have spinlock code for the CPU yet. I think it may be in 7.4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taranjit Singh Lamba wrote: > Hi All , > > H/W Configuration - Dell 7150 Quad Itanium 1 ( 733 MHz) with 4G RAM > > OS - Red Hat 7.2 > - Postgresql ver 7.3.3 compiled from raw hide red hat rpms. > > > Problem : We were able to install postgreSQL 7.3.3 successfully on this enviornment , but server crashes randomly and throwsfollowing error : > ************************************************************************************* > LOG: server process (pid 11220) was terminated by signal 11 > LOG: terminating any other active server processes > LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing shared memory and semaphores > LOG: database system was interrupted at 2003-06-17 10:29:08 PDT > LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/83CEC8 > LOG: redo record is at 0/83CEC8; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE > LOG: next transaction id: 480; next oid: 16976 > LOG: database system was not properly shut down; automatic recovery in progress > LOG: ReadRecord: record with zero length at 0/83CF10 > LOG: redo is not required > LOG: database system is ready > FATAL: Database "template0" is not currently accepting connections > FATAL: IDENT authentication failed for user "zippool1" > LOG: fast shutdown request > LOG: shutting down > LOG: database system is shut down > *********************************************************************************************** > > Any help would be highly appreciated ! > > > Thanks in Advance ! > > Regards > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend > -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073

[raises eyebrow] Does RHL 7.2 claim to support Itanium? Especially SMP Itanium? That release was awhile back, I believe, and I'd not be surprised at kernel bugs that show up with such hardware. If you've got a fully up-to-date kernel and have eliminated the theory of memory problems, please send us debugger stack traces from a few of the crashes. (The traces will be more useful if you first rebuild with debugging symbols enabled, which I think is not the default with the RPMs.) regards, tom lane

From: Joerg Budischewski <joerg@budischewski.com> To: dev@dba.openoffice.org Hi, I'd like to announce the availability of a native postgresql driver version 0.5.0 for OpenOffice.org database API. The driver's homepage can be found here: http://dba.openoffice.org/drivers/postgresql/index.html The postgresql SDBC Driver allows to use the postgresql database from OpenOffice.org without any other wrapper layer such as odbc or jdbc. The driver is in a alpha state, the main purpose of this version is to collect input from the community about the most needed missing features. Treat this driver with care, it is not thouroughly tested yet and might (in the worst case) destroy your data. If you just want a driver, that just works, you should wait some more time. On the other hand, you have the chance to have some influence on the current development, so that a final driver may support the features you need. The driver is aimed only at the 1.1 OpenOffice.org versions, it may be used without GUI support also in the 1.0.x version (though this is not tested yet). I The final aim is to have an easier to use, faster, more feature rich database driver than the jdbc-odbc solution. The current version does not meet all these aims yet. Please have a look at the open questions paragraph, if you are interested in how you can help. Have fun, Joerg
