RE: Postgres 10.7 Systemd Startup Issue

Greeting,

I have a follow-up question regarding PostgreSQL configure option.

Example:
./configure --prefix=/hostname/pg/PostgreSQL-11.5 --with-systemd --with-openssl

Above example I configure PG with 2 options:
1. with-systemd
2. with-openssl

Is there a catalog view that I can query to see what options were used to configure the PG instance? We will be taking over administration of existing PG instance, but we would need to know what configuration option was used during build.

Your feedback and help is much appreciated.

Dan

Hello All,

I ended up removing all configuration. Re-unzip the binary tar files we downloaded. Re-configure with the option "--with-systemd" and now it is working.

We really appreciate all your help!

I apologize, it was a copy/paste error. I did include the option "--with-systemd".

This is our first install of postgresql. I am in the process of getting standard in place for future deployment. We don't have any large footprint of postgresql here. We run mostly Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL in production so far.

Hmmm ....

Is it just a copy-and-paste mistake that you don't actually have a --with-systemd option here?

Also, it seems fairly unusual for anyone to build a production installation with absolutely no configuration options --- it'd work, but you'd get a really plain-vanilla server. You might consider reviewing

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/install-procedure.html

to see what other things might make sense to turn on.
