I have a terrible task.
Build a replication schema using a Windows Server2016 and PostgreSQL 9.3.
I know, I know , I could have desired, a better or most recent PostgreSQL version, but nope
My current configuration:
Master Server:
postgresql.conf:
wal_level = hot_standby
archive_mode = on
archive_command = 'copy "%p" "\\\\127.0.0.1\\archive\\%f"'
max_wal_senders = 5 wal_keep_segments = 10
pg_hba.conf:
host replication rep_user IP-replica slave/CIDR trust
Slave Server:
postgresql.conf:
Hot_Standby=On
recovery.conf
restore_command = 'copy "\\\\x.y.z.78\\Archive\\%f" "%p"'
standby_mode = 'on'
primary_conninfo= 'host=x.y.z.78 port=5432 user=rep_user password=rep_user'
trigger_file = 'c:\\temp\\primary_down.txt'
I have made a successfully switch-over, but my new slave server, does not want to be online
I have enabled more detailed debug info, and the only message that appears is:
2020-04-25 11:49:36 COT DEBUG: attempting to remove WAL segments older than log file 00000000000000000000004A
2020-04-25 11:49:36 COT DEBUG: SlruScanDirectory invoking callback on pg_multixact/offsets/0000
2020-04-25 11:49:36 COT DEBUG: SlruScanDirectory invoking callback on pg_multixact/members/0000
2020-04-25 11:49:36 COT DEBUG: SlruScanDirectory invoking callback on pg_multixact/offsets/0000
My log file keeps growing, but the postgresql service fails to start with a timeout message and never comes online.
what could be happening ?
Please, any idea, can help me
Thanks a lot friends for your postgresql-wise
Best Regards
