I've been trying to migrate my old openerp server installation to a new VPS so I tried to migrate the database.
I need to do it via shell because of the size of the database and unstable connection.
What I've done is log in server1 and then
su postgres
pg_dump dbname > db.dump
then I transfered the file to the new server and restored it like this
createdb dbname
psql dbname < db.dump
the database itself was restored and I can browse through the tables if I want to but when I try to get in OpenERP the database is not available in the select box where the databases are. If I create new databases by using the openerp interface they appear correctly in the select box and I can connect.
I tried to create the db with UTF8 encoding and using template1 as well but nothing was different. I also tried to create the database via the interface, drop the tables and restore the backup but this gives errors after I log in like "product.product relation does not exist".
Any ideas what else I could try? Thanks in advance.
