Re: [Dhis2-users] PostgreSQL-9.5 failed to boot-up at restart of Linux server

 

Gerald it sounds like it has got into a bit of a mess and maybe you risk
just making it worse.  It is really not supposed to be this hard, but tit
is next to impossible at a distance to figure out what might have gone
wrong.

Given that you are not dependent on migrating the cluster, but that you are
simply going to restore your dbs, I would advise that you just try and get
rid of the current non-working postgres installation completely and install
it again.

sudo apt-get purge postgresql ... etc  (check under /etc and /var/lib that
all traces have truly gone)
