Hi Thom, thanks for your reply. Here's my psql output:
bash-3.00$ bin/psql
psql (9.0.1, server 8.1.4)
WARNING: psql version 9.0, server version 8.1.
Some psql features might not work.
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# SHOW wal_level;
ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "wal_level"
postgres=# SELECT pg_start_backup('basebackup', true);
ERROR: function pg_start_backup("unknown", boolean) does not exist
HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You may need
to add explicit type casts.
postgres=# SELECT pg_start_backup('basebackup');
ERROR: WAL archiving is not active
HINT: archive_command must be defined before online backups can be made
safely.
The mismatched server version number doesn't look right! Note that this is a
Postgres 9.0 tarball I've extracted onto a server which already has Postgres
8.1.4 installed.
Any thoughts from anybody? Thanks.
