I inadvertently deleted the ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem out from under a running Postgres instance (9.4) which caused it to shut down. The last line of main.log: FATAL: could not load server certificate file "/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem": No such file or directory I've since restored the cert but cannot get Postgres to start back up. It's the Debian 8 packaged version which complicates the debugging and troubleshooting. There doesn't seem to be a way to do anything with Postgres outsided the of Debian's systemd wrappers. All I've got to work with is from /var/syslog: pangaea systemd[1]: Starting PostgreSQL Cluster 9.4-main... pangaea postgresql@9.4-main[28684]: Error: could not exec start -D /var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main -l /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.4-main.log -s -o -c config_file="/etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf" : pangaea systemd[1]: postgresql@9.4-main.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. -Shawn -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
