Thread: Novice question: PostgreSQL 7.2.4 running on RedHat linux

When I run pg_ctl start I get back:

ReadRecord: invalid resource manager id 159 at
5/2FEB854

along with a couple other "invalid" messages.  Version
7.2.4 does not have a 'pg_resetxlog' so what do I do
to fix this issue?

Thanks,
David

That in itself doesn't indicate a problem.  Are you sure there's really
anything wrong?
