OK got the upgrade installed using
rpm -Fh postgresql*
Everything went ok. The server didn't come up because the data was in a
previous format. Had already run pg_dumpall on the database so I went
straight to moving the old data out of the way:
1. in /var/lib/pgsql/data/ moved the base dir out of the way
2. did a service postgresql start and it said the initialization was OK but
server failed to start
3. in /var/lib/pgsql/ moved the data dir out of the way
4. tried step 2 again and it worked, server started
5. did psql -e template1 < pg-upg-dump.sql which errored saying couldn't
connect to <domain name of server>
6. checked /etc/init.d/postgresql and added the -o "-i" to the startup to
get it to listen
7. tried step 5 again, but this time the error is:
psql: FATAL 1: No pg_hba.conf entry for host xxx.xxx.xxx.122, user root,
database template1
xxx.xxx.xxx.122 is the IP of the pg server that I'm working on
How do I move forward if I can not get past this to ever start restoring?
