Re: [BUGS] BUG #6664: Postgres server process does not come up in foreground and parent process is set to init ( PID 1 )

2012-05-25 Thread karthik ananth
The default postgres.conf created would have this setting set to "on". I
used the freebsd port to install.

Hmm.  That's certainly not the case in stock Postgres, so I suppose the
freebsd packager must be patching it for some reason.  Perhaps the start
script he's using depends on it (if so, he's going to have some work to
do when 9.2 hits).

No, that has certainly never been the default.

FWIW, we removed that setting entirely as of 9.2.

Hi Tom,

You are right. That worked. I feel it is a documentation bug as with the
default settings, executing the provided command would not start the server
in foreground mode.

The default setting for silent_mode is on is what I have seen.

Karthik

Is it possible you've got silent_mode enabled in postgresql.conf?
That's the only thing I can think of that would make it do that.
