Yesterday I spent about half an hour to dig an issue on my laptop -- 9.0 instance did not start, and there were nothing in the logs. Eventually I straced postmaster on start, and noticed an extra char in the pg_hba.conf, which caused postmaster not to start.
Is it possible to drop something to (startup) log file and mention about the syntax error in hba file? (FWIW, I saw the same issue in a Greenplum 4.0.3 instance 2 months before or so.) -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com PostgreSQL Danışmanı/Consultant, Red Hat Certified Engineer Community: devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
