Sorry. I added some "< raw >" tags so maybe this is the reason why you couldn't see half of my message. Hi again, It looks like the problem comes from the "-l" option I'm trying to set when I register the service. 1) If I register the cluster as a service in the following way: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dos ; a_user> pg_ctl.exe register -N a_pgcluster_srv -U a_user -P a_password -D "a_pgcluster" -S auto -w -t 60 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It works: the service is automatically started properly. 2) If I add the following option: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -o "-l '<path_to_the_cluster_log_file>/a_pgcluster.log'" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- and then try to start the service (via "Control Panel" -> "Administrative Tools" -> "Services"), it fails with the message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The a_pgcluster_srv service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is this not the right way to set the cluster log file? Or maybe this should be set in the cluster "postgresql.conf" configuration file instead? Thanks for helping.
