Thread: Upgrade 7.0.3 -> 7.1.3 problems!
Hi. I'm trying to upgrade from 7.0.3 to 7.1.3 and I now have neither working. I made a dump file of my one database of interest. I downloaded postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-perl-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-server-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm I used rpmdrake (Mandrake 8.0) to install them. And Ok. I set up $PGDATA to point to a new place. Ran initdb -- A-Okay. I got message /usr/lib/libpg.so.2 not found. So I copied it back over from /var/lib/pgsql/backup/ and things started working... Started postmaster as the postgres user and OK. (But if I try to start it as root with "/etc/init.d/postgresql start" I get error message -- Error: An old version of the database format was found.\nYou need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL.\nSee (Your System's documentation directory)/postgresql-7.1.2/README.rpm-dist for more information. ) As postgres I can "createdb foo". However when I try to use the psql client I get error message: Error: psql: error while loading shared libraries: psql: undefined symbol: PQgetssl pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection. And I not have been unable to find any information on PQgetssl. Can anybody tell me what's going on? Thanks, David
Further information -- Here it is a little clearer: 1. ) Reinstall 7.0.3: root# rpm -v --force -i postgresql-server-7.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm postgresql-7.0.3-2mdk.i586.rpm root# /etc/init.d/postgresql status root# /etc/init.d/postgresql restart postgres$ initdb postgres$ createdb tmpdb postgres$ psql -d tmpdb EVERYTHING WORKS. 2. ) Reinstall 7.1.3: root# /etc/init.d/postgresql stop root# rpm -v --force -i postgresql*7.1.3*rpm postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG postgresql-perl-7.1.3-1PGDG postgresql-server-7.1.3-1PGDG postgres$ initdb root# /etc/init.d/postgresql start An old version of the database format was found.\nYou need to upgrade the data format before using PostgreSQL.\nSee (Your System's documentation directory)/postgresql-7.1.2/README.rpm-dist for more information. postgres$ postmaster & postgres$ createdb tmpdb postgres$ psql -d tmpdb psql: error while loading shared libraries: psql: undefined symbol: PQgetssl pq_recvbuf: unexpected EOF on client connection Anybody?

AFAICS that message doesn't appear anywhere in the PG distribution,
so I suppose it must be coming out of the /etc/init.d/postgresql script.
Better look at that script and see what it's unhappy about. A first
guess is that the data directory you initialized with "initdb" is not
the same data directory that the start script is expecting to use.
Check $PGDATA settings and/or -D arguments.

This looks like psql was compiled with SSL support and libpq wasn't.
Are you sure you installed a complete set of compatible RPMs? I'd
say one or the other file wasn't updated.

Right you are about this Tom. I just found this out myself. The /etc/init.d/postgresql script has PGDATA hardcoded. And I've gotten past it.

What I thought all I needed was: postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-perl-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm postgresql-server-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm Do I need more? Thank you much.!!

Darn if I know, but the 'rpm' command could tell you what these rpms
provide. Also try "rpm -qa | grep postgres" to see if you have any
prior-version rpms you forgot to replace.
If postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG.i686.rpm does indeed provide both libpq.so
and the psql executable, then the next likely problem is that you
have multiple versions of libpq.so on your system and psql is picking
up the wrong one. Fooling about with the search path via ldconfig
should fix that, once you figure out what is where.

I installed all the packages on http://www.ca.postgresql.org/ftpsite/binary/v7.1.3/RPMS/mandrake-8.0/, (the libs package I guess was the problem) and I have got 7.1.3 up and running. (And we've got outer joins!!!) I can't thank you enough. This is the best supported database available.! Sincerely, David Link, White Plains, NY
