Well, someone or something did, because stdmsg isn't ever a legal value, and it didn't put itself into that file. . > But, after i try changing value on log_destination from 'stdmsg' into > 'csvlog', > i got this "2009-11-26 16:07:57 ICTPANIC: could not open control file > "global/pg_control": Permission denied" This would seem to indicate that either the permissions on the PostgreSQL data directory have been changed, or you're trying to start PostgreSQL under the wrong user account. > I changed it into 'syslog', i got this > FATAL: invalid value for parameter "log_destination": "syslog" > > I changed it again into 'eventlog', i got this "2009-11-27 15:28:03 > ICTPANIC: could not open control file "global/pg_control": Permission > denied" again.. > > i also try to change pg_log folder permissions, but nothing happens.. I would suggest that you post to a different mailing list, such as pgsql-novice or pgsql-general. This mailing list is for bug reports, and it doesn't sound to me like there's a bug here. I would start by setting log_destination = eventlog - since stdmsg is definitely not going to work - and then ask for help on one of those mailing lists fixing your permissions problem. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
