Hi Alexey, I was taking a quick look at this patch, and have a question for ya.
I have a default config from initdb, there is a new setting at the end but its commented out. root@storm: /db/pg92 # /etc/rc.d/postgresql start Starting PostgreSQL: root@storm: /db/pg92 # more serverlog LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-09-06 22:30:17 CDT LOG: database system is ready to accept connections LOG: autovacuum launcher started root@storm: /db/pg92 # /etc/rc.d/postgresql reload Reload PostgreSQL: No directory, logging in with HOME=/ root@storm: /db/pg92 # more serverlog LOG: database system was shut down at 2011-09-06 22:30:17 CDT LOG: database system is ready to accept connections LOG: autovacuum launcher started LOG: received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files WARNING: errors detected while parsing configuration files WARNING: errors detected while parsing configuration files WARNING: errors detected while parsing configuration files WARNING: errors detected while parsing configuration files WARNING: errors detected while parsing configuration files I didn't edit the config, it was fine at startup, so why does reload upset it so? Also, what line is the warning for? If I edit postgresql.conf and just add bob at the last line, then reload: LOG: received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files LOG: syntax error in file "/db/pg92/postgresql.conf" line 570, near end of line FATAL: errors detected while parsing configuration files Where did the other warnings go? Its right though, line 570 is bad. It also seems to have killed the server. I have not gotten through the history of messages regarding this patch, but is it supposed to kill the server if there is a syntax error in the config file? -Andy -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
