And just to be safe, I also added pgbouncer user to postgres group:
usermod -a -G postgres pgbouncer
Now when I restart the pgbouncess service, it fails. The log has this message:
2012-10-01 23:25:24.004 21037 FATAL
Cannot open logfile: '/var/log/pgbouncer.log':
Permission denied
That file is owned by "postgres:postgres" as indicated in a gazillion
threads and documentation online (none of which is comprehensive) but
just to be sure I also did this:
chown :postgres /var/log/pgbouncer.log
Still the same permission error. Seriously, why can't the log message
be a little more useful? Why can't it say clearly WHICH USER is
looking for permission to the log file? Both "pgbouncer" and
"postgres" have permissions (through the group "postgres") on that
file. So which is it?
Much appreciate any pointers.
Thanks.
