Where are Postgresql 9.1 logs? (not starting on FreeBSD 10)
Some versions of FreeBSD ports installed PostgreSQL with syslog logging enabled. You can confirm this by looking at /usr/local/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf for log_destination = 'syslog'
If that is the case, the logging output should be visible in /var/log/messages
Default syslog logging enabled (log_destination = 'syslog') and logging output should be visible in /var/log/messages.
If you want to make a log in a separate file:
1) Create log file:
touch /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log2) Edit /etc/syslog.conf, append lines
!postgres*.* /var/log/postgresql/postgresql.log!*After editing, you need to restart the service
service syslogd restart4) do not forget to rotate postgresql.log (edit /etc/newsyslog.conf)
5) Perhaps in order to see something you will need to set the logging level. As an example, add to your postgresql.conf
client_min_messages = loglog_min_messages = infolog_checkpoints = onlog_connections = onlog_disconnections = on
