In openSUSE11.1 the server logs are in /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_log/* I am testing the migrated data by providing a link file "data" pointing to either the bare db created by initdb during install (data.install) or the data.amd64 dir migrated from the old machine. When "data" is linked to data.install, pg starts and the logfiles are in data/pg_log. When "data" is pointing to data.amd64 then pg start hangs for ~ 2 mins and then displays "failed" there is no log file in data/pg_log Please see session transcript below postg...@saraswati:~> pwd /var/lib/pgsql postg...@saraswati:~> ls -dl data* lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 10 2009-05-02 18:49 data -> data.amd64 drwx------ 10 postgres postgres 4096 2009-04-23 08:54 data.amd64 drwx------ 11 postgres postgres 4096 2009-05-02 17:49 data.install postg...@saraswati:~> sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start root's password: Starting PostgreSQL could not start server failed <<<<<<< postg...@saraswati:~> pwd /var/lib/pgsql postg...@saraswati:~> ls -dl data* lrwxrwxrwx 1 postgres postgres 9 2009-05-02 18:57 data -> data.install drwx------ 10 postgres postgres 4096 2009-05-02 18:52 data.amd64 drwx------ 11 postgres postgres 4096 2009-05-02 17:49 data.install postg...@saraswati:~> sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql start Starting PostgreSQL done <<<<<<<< Thanks. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
