Hello all, It was running fine initially and the database was lying idle for a few days. Today I looged into the machine and restarted the server by killing the process by 'kill -9 pid'. And then restarted it by 'postmaster -i -D /opt/pgsql/data/'. Then it gives the following error on stdout :
LOG: database system was interrupted at 2008-03-06 14:15:17 IST LOG: record with incorrect prev-link 1/0 at 0/A4EB08 LOG: invalid primary checkpoint record LOG: record with incorrect prev-link 42FD/0 at 0/A4EAC8 LOG: invalid secondary checkpoint record PANIC: could not locate a valid checkpoint record LOG: startup process (PID 3388) was terminated by signal 6 LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure What is the problem? It was running fine all this time. I have to use an older version for it to be used with another software. So changing versions is not feasible.
