Here are the settings in the postgresql.conf file:
I remember turning on logging to troubleshoot a performance issue....
log_destination = 'stderr'
logging_collector = on
log_directory = 'pg_log'
#log_filename = 'postgresql-%a.log'
log_truncate_on_rotation=on
log_rotation_age = 1d
log_rotation_size = 0
I installed postges from an rpm file (pgdg-redhat92-9.2-7.noarch.rpm) using yum install.
Thanks,
thara.

Yes.
Look how logging is configured in /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/postgresql.conf
(parameters log_destination, logging_collector, log_directory, log_filename).
Find the log file and see what is in there.

I don't know if that would solve the problem.

How did you install PostgreSQL?
