Hi List, I'm experiencing strange behavior in pgAdmin. I recently noticed that my PostgreSQL reports a different time to the OS. I checked the time zone setting and realized it was set to 'Canada/Atlantic'. I tried using pgAdmin's Backend Configuration Editor to change the time zone in postgresql.conf to 'America/Barbados' but when I try to save the file, pgAdmin crashes. The server log has the following entries: 2008-03-17 10:24:58 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 10:24:58 ADT LOG: database system was shut down at 2008-03-15 14:58:02 ADT 2008-03-17 10:24:58 ADT FATAL: the database system is starting up 2008-03-17 10:24:59 ADT LOG: database system is ready to accept connections 2008-03-17 10:24:59 ADT LOG: autovacuum launcher started 2008-03-17 10:24:59 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 10:31:04 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 10:31:39 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 10:32:01 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 10:33:06 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: could not receive data from client: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: could not receive data from client: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: could not receive data from client: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: could not receive data from client: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. 2008-03-17 11:05:52 ADT LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection 2008-03-17 11:08:47 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 11:08:52 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 11:08:56 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 11:10:02 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" 2008-03-17 11:10:25 ADT LOG: loaded library "$libdir/plugins/plugin_debugger.dll" I tried manually editing the postgresql.conf file in Notepad but when I reload PostgreSQL it ignores the entry in the config file and defaults to 'Canada/Atlantic' time zone. I am using pgAdmin3 v1.8.2.99 and Postgresql 8.3.0. I am able to reproduce this error with PostgreSQL 8.3.0 running on Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP4 and Windows 2003 SP1. Am I doing something incorrectly? How do I correctly set the time zone?
