Hello,
I'm trying to install oVirt 3.1, using an external postgres db running on RHEL6 (postgresql-server-8.4.12-1.el6_2.x86_64). I'm getting the following error during engine-setup:
Error: uuid-ossp extension is not loaded into the DB. Verify with the DB admin that uuid-ossp extension is loaded into newly created databases and rerun the setup.
The database log indicates:
ERROR: function uuid_generate_v1() does not exist at character 8 HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts. STATEMENT: SELECT uuid_generate_v1();
I did some searching, and it appeared that I might need to add some postgres-contrib functions:
psql -U postgres -d engine -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/uuid-ossp.sql
Unfortunately, it appears that the install script wants to create a temporary database and expects these functions to exist on its newly-created temp DB, not an already-existing database.
Indeed this step is required for postgresql 8.4.x (you have to install this script). I did not encounter an issue with this script. I ran psql -U postgres -d engine -f /usr/share/pgsql/contrib/uuid-ossp.sql And the script execution went smoothly (this scripts runs instructions of create or replace function so it is re-entrant). Can you please elaborate more on the error you're getting?
Has anyone else been bitten by this? Or have any ideas how to address this?
