I need help restoring a postgres database. My postgres server was destroyed by a tornado, but the raid drives containing the data are still intact. I built a new machine and mounted the raid drives, but I can't get the new installation of postgres to load the old databases. I get the " Database is not in pg-database" type of response. The old database config files, including the old pg_database file, are still inctact. Can I copy some of the old config files into the new postgres installation?
Any ideas?
