in$PGDATA. Also, depending on your configuration and how long it's been running, you may not have anything the pg_xlog
directoryother than a subdirectory. I think, if I'm recalling correctly, that the subdirectory is named archive. WAL
segmentsget written out here based on the setting for wal_keep_segments in the postgresql.conf file.</div><div

style="direction:ltr;">1) from my experience, /var/run is only used to write a PID file, but this file is usually only
createdby your system's service commands. I don't use Ubuntu, only CentOS, so my command is "service postgresql-9.3
[start| stop | status| ... ] and the script writes the PID file. The CentOS script also writes out a /var/subsys/lock
filefor postgresql.</div><div style="direction: ltr;">2) your logfiles, unless you've butchered the postgresql.conf
file,live in the $PGDATA/pg_log directory. Wherever that is on your system.<br /> 3) i probably can't help much here,
butfirst if you're running selinux, I'd probably turn that off first. Next, check if iptables is running and possibly
blockingyour response. Either turn that off or add a rule to permit this port.</div><div style="direction: ltr;"><br

I'vejust installed PostgreSQL and I'm unable to connect to it remotely from my main desktop (I'm trying to connect with
pgAdmin3).<br /><br /> My setup:<br /> Ubuntu Server 14.04 x64 (Azure Cloud)<br /> PostgreSQL
v9.3.5-0ubuntu0.14.04.1<br/> contrib package is also installed.<br /> PostgreSQL is started on boot using Upstart. I've
modifiedthis script: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://gist.github.com/haad/6020401"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://gist.github.com/haad/6020401</a>(just version numbers)<br /><br /> My Problems:<br /> 1)
Forsome reason, when I've installed pg, /var/run/postgresql was missing. I've manually created this folder and gave my
pguser write permissions. Is that a bug?<br /> 2) I've tried to change the log config in
/etc/postgresql/9.3/main/postgresql.confbut it won't work. I think that pg is ignoring that file. I also have no idea
whereis pg log file (I tried /var/log/postgresql - not there). I tried starting the DB manually with pg_ctl -l but the
logdoes say much:<br />     LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections<br />     LOG:  autovacuum launcher
started<br/>     LOG:  received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files<br />     LOG:  received smart shutdown
request<br/>     LOG:  autovacuum launcher shutting down<br />     LOG:  shutting down<br />     LOG:  database system
isshut down<br />     LOG:  database system was shut down at 2014-10-17 21:22:11 UTC<br />     LOG:  database system is
readyto accept connections<br />     LOG:  autovacuum launcher started<br /> This log contains a single DB run.<br />
3)I'm unable to connect from my main desktop. Server is listening according to netstat. There is no firewall on the
serverand I've created an Azure endpoint for port 5432. Ideas?<br /><br /> Can you help me? <br /><br /> Thanks,<br
