Subject: Help with Restoring 8.01 databases to 9.0
Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 11:46:26 -1000
Message-ID: <4D2E2132.2050409@hindu.org> (raw)
I'm in some deep trouble here...
We've been running 8.1 on our CentOS 5 linux web server for many years.
Not having some of the features of 9.0 was starting to become a serious
issue, so I put in an order to the ServerPath data team to upgrade to
PostGreSQL 9.0
This worked, was a bit rocky but they did it. Now I'm on my own as their
services really are hosting and the OS and when it to higher level
things, that falls back on us.
First: they they forgot to restore /var/lib/psql/data/pg_hba.conf
Of course I had a back up of that and so when I restore it then at least
my controlPanel (VirtualMin-WebMin) was able to log into psgl
so then I set about try to restore databases from .sql dumps from 8.1
via the command line, I log in su postgres and try:
psql -d postgres -f /home/dbase-backups/htde.sql
So at first I'm told "role sadhu is missing" so I go to WebMin and
create the PostGres user "sadhu
and try again..
Now I'm getting the following and at this point I totally do not know
what to do next.
I tried to restore a few others and most are throwing this duplicate key
value violation.
Any help will be very much appreciated...
