Here's more information: It appears that the postgresql.conf file is
not being used...
executing a show all; from psql
I see that the parameters are using the default values and not paying
attention to the settings in the postgresql.conf file.
The config_file has a value of c:/program files/PostgreSQL/8.3-rc1/
data/postgresql.conf
and the data_directory is c:/program files/PostgreSQL/8.3-rc1/data
I verified data is being placed under that directory and the database
is working as expected.
I also verified that changes in the hba_file (setting it to a trust
access) works.
hba_file has a value of c:/program files/PostgreSQL/8.3-rc1/data/
pg_hba.conf
Why aren't the changes in the postgresql.conf file reflected in the
show all; (of course after a restart via the service)?
Just a side note the executable path in the service shown below also
looks correct.
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3-rc1\bin\pg_ctl.exe" runservice -w -N
"pgsql-8.3-rc1" -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3-rc1\data\"
Is the path to the postgresql.conf file handled differently then the
path to the pg_hba.conf file?
Thanks
