hi,
I wanted to take new feature of postgres 9 into action - hot standby.
However for some days I am still struggling with starting hot standby
server. I have set up everything as mentioned in Postgres Tutorial, on
master and standby. All the time I get:
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST LOG: database system was shut down at
2010-09-27 15:56:20 CEST
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST LOG: entering standby mode
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST WARNING: WAL was generated with
wal_level=minimal, data may be missing
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST HINT: This happens if you temporarily set
wal_level=minimal without taking a new base backup.
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST FATAL: hot standby is not possible because
wal_level was not set to "hot_standby" on the master server
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST HINT: Either set wal_level to "hot_standby" on
the master, or turn off hot_standby here.
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST LOG: startup process (PID 5100) exited with
exit code 1
2010-09-27 15:56:22 CEST LOG: aborting startup due to startup process
failure
I tried it even on 'empty' server, with only maintanance 'postgres'
database. Here's some info how I do it:
I try to do it on two machines, my computer and local server. My system
is Windows 7 64bit, standby is XP professional sp2 64bit. Both machines
run postgres 9.0.0. I tried dump, dump_all, pgadmin III's backup and
restore - nothing works.
recovery.conf on standby is:
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
standby_mode = 'on'
primary_conninfo = 'host=192.168.1.40 port=5433 user=postgres password=pass'
restore_command = 'copy "d:\\postgresql\\9.0\\archive\\%f" "%p"'
trigger_file = 'standby.stop'
pga_hba.conf on master is:
1:
2:
3:
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
host replication postgres 192.168.1.108/32 trust
and postgresql.conf on master is:

# - Standby Servers -
hot_standby = on # "on" allows queries during recovery
max_standby_archive_delay = 30s # max delay before canceling queries
# when reading WAL from archive;
# -1 allows indefinite delay
max_standby_streaming_delay = 30s # max delay before canceling queries

What more can I do?
