Re: FATAL error "could not find function "alt_to_mic" in file cyrillic_and_mic.so

Hi Just

Wanted to add we are using PQconnectdb to connect to the database.

The contents in pg_hba.conf, just in case it helps.

# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD

local all all md5
# IPv4-style local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 md5
# IPv6-style local connections:
host all all ::1 ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff md5

Thanks Tom,

I replaced the file conversion_create.sql and the db got created.

In the mean while I got into a different problem, I guess this is also a settings related problem.

When I try to connect to the DB and perform insert/update/delete/select operations from the command line all seems to be working fine, but when I try to use my application to connect to the DB I get the following message in the log file and the connection aborts.

LOG: getsockname() failed: Invalid argument
LOG: incomplete startup packet

Can you please help me fix the problem.

Thanks once again for your help.

Regards

When I try to start the database it creates the data directory and while initializing it gets till creating conversions and then throws a FATAL error "could not find function "alt_to_mic" in file "/opt/psb/db/pgsql/lib/cyrillic_and_mic.so" ".

Well, the error is perfectly legitimate, because there is no such function
in that file, nor anywhere else in Postgres 8.4. It did exist back in
8.0 or so, which makes me think initdb is reading some ancient copy of
conversion_create.sql. You need to straighten out the apparent mixup
of files from different releases.
