Hi,
There appears to be a problem with starting Postgres if the SSL key
has a passphrase on it. The following happens:
Enter PEM pass phrase:
FATAL: could not load private key file "server.key": problems getting password
Starting with "postgres -D /path/to/cluster" returns:
Enter PEM pass phrase:
LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-09-13 13:51:51 BST
LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
LOG: autovacuum launcher started
So the postgres binary accepts stdin, but pg_ctl doesn't. This isn't
an unusual case, so could I request a fix to allow pg_ctl to take
stdin rather than /dev/null?
Thanks
