Hi,

i was trying to enable SSL on postgresql 10 and 11 Servers after searching

on postregsql documentation i found this : 

ALTER SYSTEM SET configuration_parameter { TO | = } { value | 'value' | DEFAULT }

on https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/sql-altersystem.html

i used

ALTER SYSTEM SET SSL = ON , querry executed successfully 

after that i entred this Select *  from pg_settings , i saw that ssl value is off,

after  stoping the service of postgresql it wont start again 

i tried this on both servers 11 and 10 the same problem (the server wont start again)

I'm using widonws 7 x64.

my question is  how to enbale SSL ?

ps : i created all require cert files.

What errors in the log files?

In addition to what Ron said about checking the logs, you could change 
the ssl setting back to 'off' in the postgresql.conf file.

Did you restart the server?

Per Ron's post what are the error messages in the Postgres and/or system 
logs?
