Hi Chiru, I have done archiving on primary server, and recovery on standby server, howerver, after the first recovery I am unable to recover more wal files on standby server
Can it be possible in 8.4 ? or just in 9.1 ? This is the recovery I use: << EOF restore_command = '/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_standby -l -d -s 2 -t /var/run/postgresql/8.4-main.trigger /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/wal-archive %f %p %r 2>>/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main-standby.log' recovery_end_command = 'rm -f /var/run/postgresql/8.4-main.trigger' EOF Slds. > > Best Regards, > Chiru > -- Typed on my key64.org keyboard Nestor A Diaz
