Hello Bernhard, Dr. Bernhard Kleine [2008-03-25 13:26 +0100]: > Vorbereiten zum Ersetzen von postgresql-8.3 8.3.0-1 > (durch .../postgresql-8.3_8.3.1-1_i386.deb) ... > Stopping PostgreSQL 8.3 database server: main* Error: pid file is > invalid, please manually kill the stale server process. > failed!
This output indicates that there is already an 8.3 cluster "main", but it is probably misconfigured. Can you please give me the output of ls -lR /etc/postgresql/ pg_lsclusters Please check "pg_lsclusters" to see which clusters exist and which are running. If you really do not need the 8.3 one any more, you can kill it with "pg_dropcluster 8.3 main" and create a new one with "pg_createcluster 8.3 main". However, if this has valuable data, you should rather repair it. This error is thrown if there is a running 8.3 process which does not match the PID file in /var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main/postmaster.pid. Apparently something is screwed here, and I'd like to find out what.
