Where can I find the original postgresql 8.4 config files for ubuntu (/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/*)?

Upgraded ubuntu to version 9.10. which included upgrading postgresql from 8.3 to 8.4

dir with config files is empty (/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/)

Completely removed and then reinstalled all ubuntu postgres packages (server, client, admin), but that didn't reinstall/populate the config files.

Thanks

Apparently you didn't completely remove the packages, or the configs would have been restored. Make sure you remove the common package as well, as well as using the --purge option to aptitude.

  • womble: thanks, this worked. Although I did not specified it above I had also removed/reinstalled the common pkgs. The --purge must have done it since I had not used that option before.
