Final Cut Server: Using the Preference Pane to back up the database may not save the postgresql.conf file

  • Last Modified: July 30, 2008
  • Article: TS1648

Symptoms

A backup created from the Final Cut Server Preference Pane in System Preferences may not contain a properly configured postgresql.conf file. When you restore to a clean system, a default file may be created in its place. This may cause database performance issues.

Products Affected

Final Cut Server 1.x

Resolution

To restore the correct postgresql.conf file after restoring from a database backup, use the following steps:

  1. Stop Final Cut Server from the Final Cut Server preference pane in System Preferences.
  2. Run the following command in Terminal:
    sudo cp /Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/share/postgresql/postgresql_8.2.conf /var/db/FinalCutServer/data/postgresql.conf
  3. Start Final Cut Server from the Final Cut Server preference pane in System Preferences.
