[SOLVED] Issue after update with postgre

[killmasta93]

Hi
I was wondering if someone could shed some light, Currently i updated PMG from version 5 to 6 then 6 to 7 then 7 to 8, and the update working fine, the issue is that every time i reboot i have to go to postgre config and change every line that says 9.6 to 15 and restart the service, not sure why its not sticking the config?

Thank you

did you follow the upgrade guides for all the versions?:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_5.x_to_6.0
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_6.x_to_7.0
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_from_7_to_8

regarding postgresql on Debian - the procedure is quite similar for all of them - install the new version - upgrade the pg-cluster - remove the old version.

hi thanks for the reply, yeah correct the update worked perfectly its just so weird every time i reboot the config goes back to version 9.6

How does the config look after a reboot? (post a few relevant lines) - also what's the output of:
* `pmgconfig dump`
* `pmgversion -v`
* `ss -tlnp |grep 54`

Looks all quite fine - I guess the postgres service (running with pid 514) is indeed version 15.

Then my guess is that you have a copy of the postgresql config template in /etc/pmg/templates - I would suggest to simply remove it, if you don't have any needed modifications to the postgresql config

 

[killmasta93]

wow i think that did the trick, i changed also in the templates, out of curiosity how come it creates a template? does that mean everytime it reboots grabs from the templates?

 

[Stoiko Ivanov]

wow i think that did the trick, i changed also in the templates

please consider simply removing the template override if you do not need it actively! else you miss out on changes we ship in the packages
see the roadmap:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Roadmap#Proxmox_Mail_Gateway_8.0

• Notify when a template was copied to /etc/pmg/templates without any modifications, to prevent missing important changes to config files

out of curiosity how come it creates a template

That's quite well explained in the docs:
https://pmg.proxmox.com/pmg-docs/pmg-admin-guide.html#pmgconfig_template_engine

the config is generated from templates - and this gets done upon reboot, upon actively changing config settings in the GUI, and once per day

I hope this explains it!

Thanks will keep that in mind
