can not restart after changing postgresql.conf

[saclin]

only thing I should do first is to change postgresql.conf?? after the following change: shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_pathman,pg_stat_statements'

systemctl restart postgresql-10 Job for postgresql-10.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status postgresql-10.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

and it restart successfully after I change it to shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_pathman'

thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm not sure how it's related to powa, but the most likely cause is that you didn't install the contrib package, so pg_stat_statements isn't available.

Can you check if the contrib package is installed, or show the postgres logs related to the startup failure?

Hi rjuju.

I have a similar problem. I installed the "dnf install postgresql10 postgresql10-server" in my Fedora 28 using these instructions: "https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2012/install-postgresql-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/". But when I was "started" with the command "systemctl start postgresql-10.service" the following error occurred: [root@localhost Kewton]# systemctl start postgresql-10.service

Job for postgresql-10.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status postgresql-10.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

[root@localhost Kewton]# systemctl status postgresql-10.service

Can you help me?

I also installed postgresql-devel and postgresql-contrib... But it's still going on.

@KewtonV I see that you open another dedicated issue, so I'll close this one, having no news from @saclin
