The problem was in the postgresql.conf. At the bottom of the file I had uncommented all the ‘include’ lines, so they looked like this: > include_dir = '' # include files ending in '.conf' from > # a directory, e.g., 'conf.d' > include_if_exists = '' # include file only if it exists > include = '' # include file > The first one is what caused all the headaches. I recommented out these lines and everything works now. Thanks for all the quick suggestions. Ah-hah! I wonder if we should disallow empty values for these GUCs? And/or put in some kind of test for recursive opening of the same config file? I don't think it'd occurred to anyone that it's this easy to get the code to try to do that. regards, tom lane
