Well, i changed nothing in my postgresql.conf before the accident.. 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"
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..
