The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1789 Logged by: Chris Saringolis Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3 Operating system: Red Hat Linux 9.0 Description: Error starting up server Details:
I have downloaded Postgresql 8.0.3 from the Australian mirror site, and am following the online documentation for installation. I get to the pointof initialising the database via initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data I then try starting up postmaster in the background as per the documentation: Postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >>serverlog 2>&1 & Postmaster cannot start up and I get the following error in the serverlog file: "The data directory was initialized by PostgreSQL 7.3 which is not compatible with this version 8.0.3" This is a fresh install including the Linux OS. Why am I getting this error and could it be the download has some old version components??
