Thread: probs with 7.3 -> 7.4 on debian
Hi all Debian has upgraded me to 7.4 ofpostgres, but when it tries to start postgres I get an error mentioning that the data is in 7.3 format and needs to be upgraded to 7.4 format before postmaster will start. "dpkg-reconfigure postgresql" attempts to do just this for me, but fails during upgrade. so I follow the instructions in README.Debian.migration like so: odin:~# su -s /bin/bash - postgres postgres@odin:~$ postgresql-dump -t db.out -dcivlp $PGDATA/../data.save Stopping and restarting the postmaster /var/lib/postgres/dumpall/7.3/postmaster -D /var/lib/postgres/data -p 5431 -o -d0 /var/lib/postgres/dumpall/7.3/postmaster: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Failed to start the postmaster postgres@odin:~$ Is any one able to point me the right way from here? Thanks Glenn

Yes, this is a known problem. Look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=225812 and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=225635 Solution: If you have an up to date dump, move $PGDATA aside, initdb and load your dump. Otherwise: rm -rf /var/lib/postgres/dumpall/7.3/ reinstall 7.3.4-9 from testing for the packages postgresql, postgresql-client and libpq3; use dpkg --force-downgrade --force-depends --force-conflicts to do it - it's only for a few minutes. Make a dump now reinstall 7.4.1 - this time the upgrade should work, and if not, you can do a manual upgrade with your just-taken dump as shown above . -- Oliver Elphick Oliver.Elphick@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

outstanding - thanks, this is a big relief :-)
FYI - automatic upgrade still failed, but at least I could use the
db.out I made after downgrade.
Now if only I could connect through TCP.
local connect such as:
glenn@odin$:psql mydb
works fine
tcp connect such as
glenn@odin$:psql -h odin mydb
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "odin" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
fails - tried IP addresses, and localhost etc.
ahh - check /etc/postgresql/postgresql.conf!
tcpip_socket = true
oh :-(
I read in list archives that this reveals much:
netstat -nlp|grep 5432
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2235850
13581/postmaster /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432
But I think this is a good outcome? i.e. server _is_ served and
listening on port 5432?
pg_hba.conf is essentially the same as the way it was in 7.3 pre
upgrade, but with the IP6 changes now included.
Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks
