Re: postgres on SuSE 9.1

Dear Bill

I tried to modify my postgresql.conf file. But
lookslike it is not correct yet.

Please tell me where the mistake.

Here I attached my postgresql.conf.

TIA.

patrix:/var/lib/pgsql/data # ls
. .. PG_VERSION base global pg_clog pg_hba.conf
pg_ident.conf pg_xlog postgresql.conf
postmaster.opts
patrix:/var/lib/pgsql/data # vi postgresql.conf
patrix:/var/lib/pgsql/data # cat postgresql.conf
# -----------------------------
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
# name = value
#
# (The '=' is optional.) White space may be used.
Comments are introduced
# with '#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of
option names and
# allowed values can be found in the PostgreSQL
documentation. The
# commented-out settings shown in this file represent
the default values.
#
# Any option can also be given as a command line
switch to the
# postmaster, e.g. 'postmaster -c log_connections=on'.
Some options
# can be changed at run-time with the 'SET' SQL
command.
#
# This file is read on postmaster startup and when the
postmaster
# receives a SIGHUP. If you edit the file on a running
system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take
effect, or use
# "pg_ctl reload".
