Hi all,
I'm getting a report of a config error when changing a config value
that requires a restart:
In postgresql.conf
max_connections = 92
(pg_ctl restart)
postgres=# show max_connections ;max_connections
-----------------92
(1 row)
(Edit postgresql.conf so that max_connections = 93)
(pg_ctl reload)
Now the log file contains:
2014-01-21 18:14:53 GMT [28718]: [4-1] user=,db=,client= LOG:
received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files
2014-01-21 18:14:53 GMT [28718]: [5-1] user=,db=,client= LOG:
parameter "max_connections" cannot be changed without restarting the
server
2014-01-21 18:14:53 GMT [28718]: [6-1] user=,db=,client= LOG:
configuration file "/home/thom/Development/data/postgresql.conf"
contains errors; unaffected changes were applied
It doesn't contain errors. I changed the 92 to 93. If I restart, it
doesn't complain, and there's nothing in the log about the config
anymore.
This seems to be the case for any parameter with a postmaster context.
I can understand why it logs the message about it not changing without
a restart, but the other one seems like a bug.
I've tested this on 9.3 and 9.4devel.
