ERROR: could not create unique index "index_incoming_referers_on_path_and_incoming_domain_id"
DETAIL: Key (path, incoming_domain_id)=(/search/, 418) is duplicated.
EXCEPTION: psql failed: DETAIL: Key (path, incoming_domain_id)=(/search/, 418) is duplicated.
The old server doesn’t have a file called PG_VERSION, how can I tell what version its running? I’ve updated the docket install to the latest version today.
The new server (newly bootstrapped) is running postgres V13
cat shared/standalone/postgres_data/PG_VERSION
13
Is there a recommended procedure on how to do this?
I had a topic that had some hints, but I don’t see it anymore. It’s been close to a year since the postgres 12 upgrade.
reindex index index_incoming_referers_on_path_and_incoming_domain_id;
And
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute('reindex index index_incoming_referers_on_path_and_incoming_domain_id;')
Are ways to try to rebuild the index. It’ll give you an error and you can then go and delete the errant records. You’ll need to include both the path and the ID.
DELETE FROM incoming_referers WHERE path LIKE '%/search/' AND id IN (6247);
Then rebuild

Then I took another backup, copied it to the new server, and it imported successfully
It would be nice if the backup process could spot duplicates to avoid any issues, I was luckily that I had access to the original server which was still running. If I was restoring a cold backup, this would probably have been more of an issue>
