Problems with fatal errors on startup of postmaster.

Help. I am getting the following errors from my postmaster when I try to start it up.

How do I fix this.

[postgres@aries bin]$ ./postmaster -i
DEBUG:  Data Base System is starting up at Fri Jun 30 11:06:24 2000
FATAL 2:  Control file context is broken
FATAL 2:  Control file context is broken
Startup failed - abort
[postgres@aries bin]$

I currently have 2 databases running my website. Hence with this down I have some problems.

The postgress version is 7.0.2 running on yellow-dog Linux Champion server 1.2.

Hmm.  Your pg_control file is messed up, apparently.  Not sure how it
could have gotten that way; this is the first report of such a failure
that I can recall hearing about.

Probably your best bet for fixing this is to initdb a fresh database
directory and then use pg_upgrade to move your existing user data into
the new database.  Read the pg_upgrade directions *carefully* --- it's
a little bit tricky to use correctly.
