I managed to install again postgresql-8.4 from hardy-backports.
Now the installation is identical with the previous one.
With the fresh database, the server starts up fine.
Now I copied all from the backup to
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4
/var/lib/postgresql/8.4
The the startup fails like this:
* Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server
* Error: could not exec
/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D
/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main.log -s
-o -c config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf" :
the log-file is empty.
Can you please help to get postgresql to start again using the previous
database.
I suppose there should be no serious issues, as the version of postgresql is
identical now.
