Backup broken PostgreSQL 8.4 without pg_dump
- by Daniil
So. I have a problem. PostgreSQL 8.4 won't start or restart without any output given.
But it worked for 3 monthes until hosting provider doesn't rebooted server. Now it is completly broken. It wan't start and doesn't give any output or log.
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "postgres" failed: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
Now I want to backup (or just start pgsql socket) my database to reinstall postgesql. How?
