[cobalt-users] RAQ3 PostgreSQL

["Bob Cruz" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I deperately need help. I am on my last ditch effort. If I don't resolve
this problem by Monday I will be forced to restore my RAQ3 to "original".

I deleted PostgreSQL...and screwed up the UI (long story...short version - I
screwed up).

I managed to track down the
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/products/raq3/RPMS/postgresql-6.5.2-C2.i386.rpm
and the
ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/products/raq3/RPMS/postgresql-devel-6.5.2-C2.i38
6.rpm (thanks to Jeff) , PostgreSQL is installed but I am still missing the
cobalt database.

Here is what I am desperate for:

1) Directory structure/contents of postgresql on the raq3 should be
/home/pgsql and I'm not sure if there are any other PostgreSQL files in
other locations on the RAQ3 (something that i can compare to...to verify)

2) The RAQ3 cobalt database schema ( so i can manually rebuild the database)
I believe the cobalt database is located at /home/pgsql please correct me if
'm wrong

 I only have one RAQ3 dedicated hosted at a facility somewhere on the west
coast..no access to any other RAQ ..I am currently deployed in the south
pacific so I have no physical access to the box and would have to pay
someone there to serial link and "restore".

Please feel free to contact me off-list.

Previously, people suggested the use of meta-verify.pl, siteList.cgi ...
these are all great solutions for a different problem, they only work if the
cobalt database still exist.

Sun recommends a "full restore".

I like most of you refuse to believe that a "full restore" is the best
solution. Maybe in this case it is, but I haven't given up yet....


Thanks,
Bob Cruz
