Indeed, sorry. The real problem was that the log file disappeared entirely for some reason. It's created by pg_createcluster or when installed. Any idea why/when it disappeared? I reopen this bug to improve handling of this case. status triaged importance low title recreate missing log file in pg_ctlcluster > ~:ls -l /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key > -rw-r----- 1 root ssl-cert 887 2008-09-12 16:55 > /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key OK, that looks fine. What's the output of "id postgres", does it match the "should be" output I mentioned in the previous comment?
