[SQL] shared memory problem

2000-11-08 Thread rocael

HI all!

I did this:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -B 1000 -o "-S 2000" -S -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data

and it says:
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Invalid argument) key=5432001,
size=8899584,permission=600
This type of erro is usually caused by an improper shared memory or System V
IPC semaphore configuration. Form more information

what should I do, I am running a 600Mhz Celeron with 512RAM, I have tried the
same command in others machines and works fine,
thank you for your help,
Rocael.

Most likely your kernel isn't set to allow shared memory blocks as
large as 8M.

Hi all!
I couldn't find a way to make my DB server work again.
I did this:
in postgres user  killall -9 postmaster (I wanted to stop the server)
then  rm /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432

I tried to restart the server but I got this error:
[postgres@aux-209-217-53-170 postgres]$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data/
IpcMemoryCreate: shmget failed (Identifier removed) key=5432010, size=144,
permi
ssion=700
This type of error is usually caused by an improper
shared memory or System V IPC semaphore configuration.
For more information, see the FAQ and platform-specific
FAQ's in the source directory pgsql/doc or on our
web site at http://www.postgresql.org.

[SQL] File system level backup

2001-07-11 Thread rocael

Hi!

I have an installation of PG7.0.2 in a disk, for some reasons I didn't use
that disk anymore but right now I want to use the dbs that I have there, the
point is that I've mount that disk in other file system, so I copied the old
/usr/local/pgsql/data to the new /usr/local/pgsql/data and tried to access
that DB using also PG7.0.2 but it didn't work.
I followed the instructions at
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?backup-file.html

Here's the log of the DB running the new copied /data:
DEBUG:  Data Base System is starting up at Wed Jul 11 05:24:07 2001
DEBUG:  Data Base System was shut down at Tue Jul 10 18:20:05 2001
DEBUG:  Data Base System is in production state at Wed Jul 11 05:24:07 2001
FATAL 1:  Database "open" does not exist in the system catalog.

I got the FATAL 1 when I do a psql open, that DB really exists in data/base

by the way, the first PG installation was on RH6.2 the actual PG is on RH7.1,
and both are PG7.0.2 installed from source (not rpms)

What is the right way to do a dump of the DBs in this way?, I don't want to
use pg_dump.

Thank you,
Rocael.
