Thread: server closed the connection unexpectedly

server closed the connection unexpectedly

Hi all,

Errors running a psql batch that has worked for weeks without a
problem:
$ uname -a
Linux s1 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 #1 Thu Jul 1 08:25:29 EDT 2004 i686 athlon
i386 GNU/Linux
$ rpm -q postgresql
postgresql-7.4.2-1
$ psql KakaoStats
Bem-vindo ao psql 7.4.2, o terminal iterativo do PostgreSQL.


select insert_usuarios_producao();
psql:/KakaoStats/scripts/sql/kakaoStats.sql:92: server closed the
connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
psql:/KakaoStats/scripts/sql/kakaoStats.sql:92: connection to server
was lost

select deleta_antigos()
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

vacuum KakaoStats
psql: FATAL:  the database system is starting up

These commands are some of the last of a script which runs normaly
until then.

Regards
Clodoaldo Pinto

It seems that postgresql crashed recently, tried to restart
automatically, and has not succesfully restarted.

You will need to stop the postmaster daemon manually, probably delete
the postmaster.pid file, and restart the postmaster daemon.

Chances are that anyone trying to query the database is not able to....

There was no crash that I know of.

# su postgres
$ cd /var/lib/pgsql/data
$ cat postmaster.pid
14877
/var/lib/pgsql/data
  5432001    393216
$ pg_ctl stop -D ./
waiting for postmaster to shut down......done
$ rm postmaster.pid
rm: imposível remover `postmaster.pid': Arquivo ou diretório não
encontrado #(means file not found)
$ postmaster -D /var/lib/pgsql/data > logfile 2>&1 &
[1] 19256

Now as user cpn:
$ pg_dump -Fc KakaoStats > KakaoStats.dump
pg_dump: conector (socket) não está aberto #(means not open)
pg_dump: Comando SQL para copiar o conteúdo da tabela "usuarios"
falhou: PQendcopy() falhou. #(means failed)
pg_dump: Mensagem de erro do servidor: conector (socket) não está
aberto #(not open)
pg_dump: O comando foi: COPY public.usuarios (usuario, data, n_time,
wus, pontos) TO stdout;

After reboot this was the log file: (forgot to get it before)

After reboot it worked OK.

Mike,

Thank you for you reply. There is no sign in /var/log/messages of
system crash or reboot when or before the problem happened. Also I
always stop postmaster with pg_ctl stop and there was sometime that I
last stoped it.

In case it is worth something this is the /var/log/messages from when
the problem was happening:

This is clearly a kernel problem.  Postgres does not have enough
privileges to trigger this kind of mess.

Or maybe you have bad hardware; RAM, most likely.  Have you run hardware

Thank you Alvaro,

Just filled a RMA for the memory that is 20 days old. It only works
with the safest memory settings. Should have done it before. Have never
seem a (very slow) memory test catch bad memory, so won't waste my
time.

Regards,
Clodoaldo Pinto
