Hello all, I have written a script which stops postgres on my standby server, executes pg_start_backup on the master, rsync's the data directory and tablespaces over to the standby, executes pg_stop_backup on the master, and attempts to then start postgresql on the standby. My problem is the following error when I try to start postgresql on the standby:
* Starting PostgreSQL 9.1 database server * The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output: 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-10-10 12:25:18 EDT 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT LOG: entering standby mode 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT LOG: streaming replication successfully connected to primary 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT LOG: incomplete startup packet 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT WARNING: WAL was generated with wal_level=minimal, data may be missing 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT HINT: This happens if you temporarily set wal_level=minimal without taking a new base backup. 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT FATAL: hot standby is not possible because wal_level was not set to "hot_standby" on the master server 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT HINT: Either set wal_level to "hot_standby" on the master, or turn off hot_standby here. 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT LOG: startup process (PID 20370) exited with exit code 1 2011-10-10 12:25:21 EDT LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure I have tried running pg_resetxlog on both servers, and have verified that pg_hba.conf contains my replication user. I have also verified that the password I am supplying in my recovery.conf is correct. Any ideas why I would get this message? I know that wal_level = hot_standby on the master and the slave.
