My replication server will not start. I have followed the instructions here:
http://opensourcedbms.com/dbms/setup-replication-with-postgres-9-2-on-centos-6redhat-el6fedora/
As well as several other places including the Postgres Wiki as they all have the same information.
Here is what happens:
I do a full backup of the /9.2/data folder and move it to the replication/slave server, untar it. I can start PostgreSQL as well as pgAdmin and access all data with no problems.
I then move to the instructions on editing the pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf for the slave server. I attempt to start it, and it fails (error in red [fail]. I cannot find any logs anywhere to give me a hint as to why.
I even verified there was no postmaster.pid in the data folder.
Also, I cannot find any log files. Do I need to “activate” a log file in the configuration?
So, if anyone wants to take a stab in the dark on my vague description, I’d love to hear any suggestions. I can put my conf files on pastebin if that will help.
