Re: pgpool2 master fail problem

Everything is ok execept the case when the masters fails, and i try to recover it, because the old master recovers as master instead of slave. I have installed pgpool-walrecrunning on both servers but still does not seems to work.

I'm not sure I fully understand your complain but I guess you expected
the failed master became new standby by just restarting it? That is
not allowed with streaming replication system anyway. You need to
recreate the failed master as a new standby from base backup. Pgpool
provides a convenient way called "online recovery" to do that. See
pgpool manual or tutorials at pgpool web site (http://www.pgpool.net),
especially this one:
