(red face) It seems I might possibly have neglected to kill the postmaster from 7.4 before installing 8.0.
It is amazing how much better things work with the 8.0 postmaster. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 4:12 PM To: Rick Schumeyer Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ADMIN] "template1 does not exist" while installing 8.0RC5 on RH9 "Rick Schumeyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Everything looks good, even the "initdb" command, which reports > everything as ok. > But the "createdb test" command fails, with error > 'database "template1" does not exist' initdb executes half a dozen reconnections to template1 after the initial bootstrap, so it's real hard to see how a broken pg_database entry wouldn't have caused a failure during initdb. I'm wondering if maybe your createdb command is connecting to a different postmaster than you think it is.
