Hello Andriy, the reply-to settings are a bit uncomfortable here. Your mail went only to me. But I'm not part of the developer or support team. It's strange that pg_ctl doesn't say anything else. Is there any system sniffer on FreeBSD like Process Monitor on Windows? I can only say that the docs worked for me (removed the password as described) on Ubuntu and Windows. I got complaints because of the rights on the certificates first. Does the server really start if SSL is deactivated in postgresql.conf again? Good luck, Peter > Yes of cause I compiled with OpenSSL support (FreeBSD port has this > option enabled by default).
