To it my concern,
I was following your 5 minutes to Simple Replication tutorial found here
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Binary_Replication_Tutorial#5_Minutes_to_S
imple_Replication, and I notice a mistake.
In step 3 you state that the recovery.conf should be placed in the same
directory that the postgres.conf file is located. While the official
documentation states to put the recovery.conf in your ${PG_DATA}
directory, which in the case of your tutorial is /var/lib/postgresql/data,
where as the postgres.conf file lives at /etc/postgres/path/postgres.conf
. I understand if your setup is different than mine, but you might want to
make a note of this on the tutorial.
I tried it the way that you have it in your tutorial and it did not work,
the wal receiver process would not start.
Thanks
