The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5276 Logged by: James Bellinger Email address: j...@zer7.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4.2 Operating system: Ubuntu 9.10 Description: pg_ctl reads data directory on -D instead of postgresql.conf directoryh Details:
While on startup, pg_ctl (correctly) looks in the directory specified by -D for postgresql.conf, and then uses that to determine the data directory, when stopping it actually expects the directories to be the same and in doing so looks for the PID file in the given directory. As a result, on start one needs to use the .conf directory with -D, and on stop the data directory. It's not a big deal, but for consistency's sake it ought to read the .conf file to get the data directory on stop. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
