Re: main.log file not being updated

I though to do that w/ log_destination, but i left everything pretty much default except those params I mentioned earlier.

Interestingly i have another DB server (same ver, etc...) w/ exact same config params w/ postgres and sys log config and that is writing to the "system postgres log".

it's a head scratcher for me.

CCing list.

Then shouldn't

log_destination = 'stderr'

be

log_destination = 'syslog'

You may also want to check that the syslog configuration has not changed and it is actually configured to catch the Postgres output.

Would not hurt to check the init.d script to see if it is overriding the logging settings.
