indeed, didn't get it that postgres timestamp wasn't the same

 Postgres has a function(to_timestamp) that will convert that to a timestamp:
 
 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/functions-formatting.html
 
 to_timestamp(double precision)timestamp with time zoneconvert 
 Unix 
 epoch to time stamp   to_timestamp(1284352323)
 
 So something like the below in your query should work:
 
 to_timestamp(int_returned_from_php)
  very neat that does it!
  thanks a lot everybody!

  ciao

Hello!

 So when you are running pg_ctlcluster 9.0 main start what user are you 
 running 
 as?
tried as root...
 
 Have you tried to directly start the 9.0 cluster as the postgres user?:
just tried, same error

postgres@agenda:~$ pg_ctlcluster 9.0 main startError: could not exec
start -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/main -l

  -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.0-main.log -s -o -c\

   Get the 9.0 server running.
ok, got it, from your lines i saw that the binaries of the server were
removed
so i copied them over from the other server, and got the server running!
pfo.. thanks a lot!

any suggestion how to keep informed about dying disks? (as you might
have guessed, i am only a dev playing sys-admin...)

[GENERAL] help... lost database after upgrade from 9.0 to 9.1

2012-01-04 Thread Bruno Boettcher
Hello!

just made a stupid move... upgraded a working system and without
checking if the backup was ok

so i end up with a debian system having upgraded to 9,1 without
converting the database, and a scrambled backup which is totally
unusable

i tried to start the old tree with 
pg_ctlcluster 9.0 main start
Error: could not exec   start -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/main -l 
/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.0-main.log -s -o  -c 
config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.0/main/postgresql.conf : 


so i tried to copy the old 9.0 tree to a machine with a still working 9,0
postgres, but it stops with 
Starting PostgreSQL 9.0 database server: mainError: could not exec
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.0/bin/pg_ctl /usr/lib/postgresql/9.0/bin/pg_ctl
start -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.0/main -l
/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.0-main.log -s -o -c
config_file=/etc/postgresql/9.0/main/postgresql.conf : ... failed!
 failed!


 so what can i do to extract the data of that tree and feed it into the
 9.1 tree?

 thanks in avance!

[GENERAL] Problem setting up a user and a Db...

2011-06-10 Thread Bruno Boettcher
Hello,

seems a stupid problem, but somehow i am not able to solve it

i want to set up an environment identical to one on another server, thus i need 
a user and db 
which match the ones on the production server and the whole thing with password 
identification...

so i tried the following:
createuser -d -l -P -R -S rahhar
createdb -O rahhar -U rahhar -W m4rr6

in the pg_hba i have a line
hostall all 127.0.0.1/32md5

the creatuser passes fine, asks me for the password, but the createdb fails 
with an ident error

and now i am clueless about what's going wrong...
