i have just switched to posgresql and installed for use with ruby.
i need to move my app and database to a new server. since i can shut
down the server i think it will be easier for me to do a file system
level back up.
when i try to shut the server down i get this message
sudo -u postgres pg_ctl -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb
stop
pg_ctl: PID file "/opt/local/var/db/postgresql82/defaultdb/
postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is server running?
it is running.
this is my first time attempting this. can someone suggest an easy
tutorial on this.
also...
i have set up the new server with the same permissions so i should be
able to move the db to the new location.
total newbie
