All,
I was hoping someone can help me fix a big blunder. I recently bought a new system to replace the old one. The new system is running 64bit linux and the old one 32bit. I installed PG 64-bit and tried to bring the old database back up. Even though I'm running the same version of PG, it is giving me an error when I try to start it back up. below is the message from pgstartup.log. It looks like it doesn't recognize the control file anymore.
Am I screwed? I don't have the old system anymore and I didn't do a dump. I figure if I'm running the same version of PG, the data will come back up correctly. If someone can help me out of this jam, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
David

Success. You can now start the database server using:
