postgresql log file not getting update

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My postgresql-9.0-main.log file has suddenly stopped getting updated.  I do not know why it stopped all of a sudden.  We made a slight modification 
where changed in the postgresql.conf param: 
From
log_connections = off
log_disconnections = off

To

log_connections = on
log_disconnections = on

I'm on a debian environment w/ version 9.0.7.  It's a single instance w/ no cluster on here.  It was done w/a simple apt-get install back when, when it was a fresh server (we'll call this db1)

I have an identical setup for another server (db4), and when I made the change to the same paramers in conf, it's updating the postgresql-9.0-main.log file.  I reverted the connections and discon from on back to off, and did a postgresql reload as well as pg_reload_conf().  For both servers.  db4 the log file is getting updated db1 nothing.  I thought the file was locked or some perms may have changed and I deleted the postgresql-9.0-main.log file. It didn't create a new log file until i did a postgresql reload. It created the new file, but still nothing getting written to it.

I know first thing people would say is to restart the instance, but restarting is not an option for me in this case.

I've changed
ucommented out this param
#log_destination = 'stderr'

to be stderr, and even syslog and did a reload and nothing.


I know i should use log collector, but again, that also requires a restart as well, unless a reload will work?

The way I reload is /etc/init.d/postgresql reload

The distro for Debian is squeeze.  Again, it works on my other server, this server it doesn't.  Any one have any ideas, where I don't need to restart the pg instance?
Thanks in advance.
