Hello,
after a crash of my 64-bit server I have set up a new server (32 bit).
The harddsisk of the former server is now in my new server and I have access
to the partion where the data were stored.
I have tried the following:
I copied the contents of /var/lib/pgsql from the old installation into the
same directory of the new one.
Restarting postgresql fails with the following entry in the log file:
FATAL: wrong checksum in control file
(the log entry I translated from German, so I don?t know if it is exact the
same message having an English installation.)
How can I fix this?
You can't just copy files between different platforms. You'll need to
use pg_restore to restore your last backup (or find another 64-bit
machine to run on).
