Get message "ERROR: KVCtrlChannel ShmOpen failed"

[Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Hi, I get the following error while trying the “usage” section of the readme:

create extension kv_fdw;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LaunchKVManager~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-----------------kv_fdw_validator----------------------

Postgres version is the latest REL_12_STABLE branch. Where could I get more details about this failure? Is it a code issue? Thanks!

Hi, I cannot reproduce the error in my side. It seems the component using shared memory doesn't start successfully in your env. I just did a new commit with error info, could you pull the commit, rerun it and then paste the debug info here?

Thanks.

Hi @Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, thanks for the report.

Could you please confirm that you set shared_preload_libraries to 'kv_fdw' in the postgresql.conf and then restart the postgres?

From the document:

Before using this foreign data wrapper, we need to add it to shared_preload_libraries in the postgresql.conf:

sudo bash -c 'echo "shared_preload_libraries = 'kv_fdw'" >> /etc/postgresql/12/main/postgresql.conf'

and restart PostgreSQL:

sudo service postgresql restart

@Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, are there any updates?

I am going to close this issue since there is no further update.

I produce this issue because forget set shared_preload_libraries to 'kv_fdw' in the postgresql.conf. after set shared_preload_libraries and restart pg, success.
