Public bug reported: After upgrading to ubuntu 12.04, PG9.1 was running ok alongside the live 8.4. A recent migration effort using 'pg_upgradecluster 8.4 main' ran ok until 'Starting target cluster on the original port...' when I got The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output ERROR: Could not start targt cluster; please check configuration and log files.
After resetting the port numbers for 8.4 and 9.1, 8.4 is working ok, but I cannot get 9.1 to start again, and cannot spot any problem in the config. files. The log files (when finally found) gave no help. I propose to apt-get purge postgresql-9.1, then reinstall, then simply load my data into 9.1 from datadumps. But will this be sufficient? And would the current settings be helpful before I do? lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Release: 12.04 apt-cache policy postgresql-common postgresql-common: Installed: 129ubuntu1 Candidate: 129ubuntu1 Version table: *** 129ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 129 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages ** Affects: postgresql-common (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to postgresql-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1149354 Title: pg_upgradecluster (8.4 to 9.1) failed Status in “postgresql-common” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading to ubuntu 12.04, PG9.1 was running ok alongside the live 8.4.
