Doug,

Here's what I have in /var/lib/:

drwxr-x--- 3 postgres postgres 104 2006-01-19 12:49 pgsql/
drwx------ 3 postgres root 72 2006-01-19 12:47 postgresql/

In pgsql/ there is a data/ directory which contains:

PG_VERSION pg_clog/ pg_multixact/ pg_twophase/
base/ pg_hba.conf pg_subtrans/ pg_xlog/
global/ pg_ident.conf pg_tblspc/ postgresql.conf

and PG_VERSION holds '8.1', with all directories and files having a
creation date of 2006-01-19.

In postgresql/ there is a data/ directory which contains:

PG_VERSION global/ pg_hba.conf pg_xlog/
base/ pg_clog/ pg_ident.conf postgresql.conf

This PG_VERSION also holds '8.1', but all the directories and files have a
creation date of 2004-12-05.

So, I assume that /var/lib/postgresql/data holds the 7.4.3 data files and
/var/lib/postgresql/data holds what should be the 8.1.2 data files.

What specific steps should I take to get the data into the new version so
that SQL-Ledger runs once again? Once I learn this it will be much easier for
me to keep current.

Thanks very much,

Rich
