Thread: Problem with Streaming Replication/Hot Standby
I'm trying to get started with Streaming Replication and Hot Standby using PostgreSQL 9.0 (9.0.0-1PGDG.el5 installed fromPGDG). I've followed the instructions at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Binary_Replication_Tutorial#Binary_Replication_in_6_Stepsusing two fresh databases, but I'mnot having any success. When I initially start up the standby server, I see the following entries in the log, which areexpected since the primary is not yet running: FATAL: could not connect to the primary server: could not connect to server: Connection refused Is the server running on host "database1.example.com" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432? This message repeats indefinitely until I start the primary server. Once I start the postgres server on the primary, I seethe following message in the standby's log: LOG: streaming replication successfully connected to primary FATAL: could not receive data from WAL stream: FATAL: requested WAL segment 000000010000000000000000 has already been removed On the primary, I see the following entries in the log: LOG: replication connection authorized: user=postgres host=10.1.2.13 port=60977 FATAL: requested WAL segment 000000010000000000000000 has already been removed If I look in the pg_xlog directory, the file mentioned is very clearly still present. Can someone please explain what I'mdoing wrong? I've read through all of the documentation I've been able to find (see below), and I have not been ableto make any progress. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Hot_Standby http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Binary_Replication_Tutorial http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Streaming_Replication Disclaimer: http://pragmatrading.com/disclaimer.html
