Sorry but you are showing two different paths Your first email showed this path /var/log/pgbouncer.log
And now you are stating this, which would be correct /var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log Wolf -----Original Message----- From: Phoenix Kiula [mailto:phoenix.ki...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2012 8:01 PM To: Wolf Schwurack Cc: raghu ram; pgbouncer-gene...@pgfoundry.org; PG-General Mailing List Subject: Re: [Pgbouncer-general] [GENERAL] Again, problem with pgbouncer On Sat, Oct 6, 2012 at 12:01 AM, Wolf Schwurack <w...@uen.org> wrote: .... > You need to have a pgbouner directory in /var/log and have the owner > pgbouncer.

Then test by creating a file in > /var/log/pgbouncer as user pgbouncer Wolf, I think you missed the earlier posts in this thread. The "/var/log/pgbouncer.log" already has those permissions. Note this important fact: the same permissions have been working for nearly 2 years. Anyway, I created a directory: /var/log/pgbouncer/, put the pgbouncer.log file in it. chown -R pgbouncer:postgres /var/log/pgbouncer chown pgbouncer:postgres /var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log chmod 777 /var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log As was already happening, pgbouncer starts. No problem. It's now that I cannot connect to PSQL via pgbouncer (of course I can connect to psql directly) because it fails with this error: psql: ERROR: No such user: MYSITE_MYSITE Which is weird, because that user does exist. Both inside the postgres database when I do "\du" as you suggested, and of course in the pgbouncer authfile too -- > chown pgbouncer:postgres /var/lib/pgsql/pgbouncer.txt > cat /var/lib/pgsql/pgbouncer.txt "MYSITE_MYSITE" "md5 pass" "MYSITE_MYSITE" "raw pass" "postgres" "md5fd6313191fec7887f88c31a85c43df21" So now. What? Why is this otherwise very useful tool coded so poorly that there's reams of such permissions and all of these threads online? Would love to have some help or guidance.
