Thread: still no log

still no log

From
"Martin A. Marques"
Date:
Sorry for the insistence, but after looking and looking again, I can't find
out why the postgres logs are empty. The postgres database is up and working
great, but nothing is getting logged.
I'm on a RedHat Linux (6.0 with lot of upgrades)
postgres 7.0.3 from rpm (downoaded from the postgres ftp server)

Any ideas?

If postmaster is started with -S, nothing gets logged.  Is that your problem?

Well, I'm not sure. I can't recall checking that in the startup script, but I
think it's not there. Any way, why would the instalation make the entries in
the logroutate config files and then have a startup script that won't do
logging? I'm using the normal startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/.

Saludos... :-)

I just jumped in on this thread so I'm not sure where you're looking for the
logging, but postgreSQL has the following option when building (from
'./configure --help'):

--enable-syslog         enable logging to syslog

I saw that you're installing from RPM's so this won't help and I'm not even
sure that this is the logging about which you're talking, but thought I'd
post just in case!

Cheers,
Craig

Existe un archivo llamado postmaster.init en el directorio de postgres, en ese
directorio le especificas si quieres que use o no los logs. Ya revisaste ese
archivo?

No existe tal archivo, pero ya lo sulocione.
Gracias de todas formas. ;-)
