How did you create this cluster and configuration file? The default
configuration file looks like this:
----------- 8< snip -------------
# This is used when logging to stderr:
#redirect_stderr = off # Enable capturing of stderr into log
# files
# These are only used if redirect_stderr is on:
#log_directory = 'pg_log' # Directory where log files are written
# Can be absolute or relative to PGDATA
----------- 8< snip -------------
No script in postgresql-common touches log_directory, and the
postgresql-X.Y packagages do not deal with configuration files at all.
By default, the /etc/postgresql/8.1/main/log symlink determines the
path of the log file.
This very much looks like custom configuration. If you manually
enabled this setting, then of course you should set it to a directory
that actually exist.
Can you please give more details about the history of postgresql.conf?
Thanks,
Martin
