Hi all, I'm getting a report of a config error when changing a config value that requires a restart:
In postgresql.conf max_connections = 92 (pg_ctl restart) postgres=# show max_connections ; max_connections ----------------- 92 (1 row) (Edit postgresql.conf so that max_connections = 93) (pg_ctl reload) Now the log file contains: 2014-01-21 18:14:53 GMT [28718]: [4-1] user=,db=,client= LOG: received SIGHUP, reloading configuration files 2014-01-21 18:14:53 GMT [28718]: [5-1] user=,db=,client= LOG: parameter "max_connections" cannot be changed without restarting the server 2014-01-21 18:14:53 GMT [28718]: [6-1] user=,db=,client= LOG: configuration file "/home/thom/Development/data/postgresql.conf" contains errors; unaffected changes were applied It doesn't contain errors. I changed the 92 to 93. If I restart, it doesn't complain, and there's nothing in the log about the config anymore. This seems to be the case for any parameter with a postmaster context. I can understand why it logs the message about it not changing without a restart, but the other one seems like a bug. I've tested this on 9.3 and 9.4devel.
