Not a Redmine issue but a config one.

Try to remove and gem install pg -- --with-pg-config=<path to pg8.1.23_config> as specified by https://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/wiki.

Unfortunately, this reinstalling does not help for me. Any ideas?

#3 Updated by Etienne Massip almost 9 years ago

Try using postgres-pr adapter instead of pg, it does not work very well with bytea and pg 9.x but maybe better with 8.x.

Setup issue.

#5 Updated by Gilles Cornu almost 9 years ago

Status changed from Closed to Reopened

I am also facing the same problem with following stack:

Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS, with standard packages:
- PostgreSQL 8.3.15
Gems:
- postgres-pr 0.6.3

As mentionned in RedmineInstall, postgre-pr is unmaintained and 0.6.3 seems to be the last release...

I'll study following changes on my side:

switch to pg instead postgres-pr and test if it works with PostgreSQL 8.3.15
install a backport of PostgreSQL 8.4 or 9.x for Ubuntu 8.04LTS

But anyway I think that Redmine Release Management should either:

update RedmineInstall accordingly to new stack requirements for Redmine 1.2.0 (posgtres-pr no more compatible ? Minimum PostgreSQL 8.4 ?).
or
fix Redmine 1.2.1 to be able to integrate with older PostgreSQL 8.x + postgres-pr 0.6.3

There is already some information in RedmineInstall#Database.

or

fix Redmine 1.2.1 to be able to integrate with older PostgreSQL 8.x + postgres-pr 0.6.3

This is not a Redmine bug (hence the status).

For me installing 'pg' instead 'postgres-pr' resolved the problem. What is your status Alex ?

Feedback on my configuration changes after meeting this unescape_bytea problem:

Problem could be fixed by replacing postgres-pr 0.6.3 (gem uninstalled) with gem pg 0.9.0
- Note: I could not test with versions 0.10.x or 0.11.x because they require Ruby >= 1.8.7. Since I'm running with Ruby 1.8.6 (which is standard on Ubuntu 8.04LTS), I had to install version 0.9.0.
I propose to enhance the Wiki Documentation by stressing out in RedmineInstall#Database that postgres-pr is no more 100% compatible with all the features of Redmine 1.2.0 (and later ?)

#8 Updated by Sudheer Prem L S almost 9 years ago

I uninstalled 'pg' and 'postgres-pr' and re-installed 'pg' alone with the following command and it resolved the issue
gem install pg -- --with-pg-lib=<pg_home>/lib --with-pg-config=<pg_home>/bin/pg_config
