Hi,

 

We are using PostgreSQL 7.3 version, installed in linux system. Only DB is getting shut down 3-4 times a day. From my application end I get "Sorry too many clients" error. 
Refering the FAQ I maximized the DB session limit to 200.

 

I think the logs are not enabled in my DB. So I set the following options in postgresql.con file
 
log_timestamp= true
log_directory=pg_log             
log_filename=%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S.log     
log_disconnections=true    
log_hostname=true   

log_statement=true

 

 

After restarting the system got the following error :

[root@localhost root]# su postgres bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: postgresql.conf:131: syntax error,
token="%" bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: postgresql.conf:131: syntax error, token="%" bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: postgresql.conf:131: syntax error, token="%" bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: 'log_directory' is not a valid option name bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: 'log_directory' is not a valid option name bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: 'log_filename' is not a valid option name bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pgsql/data FATAL: 'log_disconnections' is not a valid option name bash-2.05b$ postmaster -i -D /var/lib/pg

When you install the DB, the logs are enabled by default?

 

Would you pls tell me still what setting need to be done?
