Where is the log file

Hi All,

When using pgadmin I recieved an error that suggest I check the postmaster log
for more information.  This I would happily do if I could find it.

Kind Regards,
Keith

It's where you put it :-(

Logging is configured in postgresql.conf.  It could be going to syslog
or to standard output or both.

Logging to standard output goes wherever it is directed on postmaster
startup (through pg_ctl or direclty).
