pgAdmin, Maintenance - "cannot open the logfile" ?

Hello,

Did a search here, manuals and Googled, etc generally, so apologies if I did not find the answer to my issue - that is, I try and 'self help' as mush as I can...

I adjusted my postgresql.conf file to set as on 'explain_pretty _print'

Now in pgAdmin (1.10.0) when I right-click a database in the 'usual' way, Maintenance, any of the tasks, its starts OK, but I get a dialogue box up every (seeming) operation that the Maintenance is doing "Fatal Error - Cannot open the logfile - OK", click OK, it moves on - and then again, again, again... as you can imagine, clicking OK >>100 times is "not efficient"... :-)

I stopped the PostgreSQL service in Windows Server 2008, replaced the postgresql.conf file with the pre-change backup I made, restarted the Windows PostgreSQL service - same error

Did a reboot of the server - same error

Help! What is the log file it is referring to? How come it is not able to see it all of a sudden? I am (now) using the default postgresql.conf and so not verbose logs or some such... No permissions were changed in Windows - and no other changes were made in the PostgreSQL settings...

The databases otherwise appear to be working fine (e.g., I have some web pages writing data to them via PHP, all seems good..)

Thanks in advance...

Cheers,
GREG...

I had this problem under windows 7 and it turend out W7 somehow makes all folders readonly after pOSTGRES 9.2 installation. Unsetting readonly does not work so i had to create the folder (debug_logging folder under PG_DATA) manually .

happened to me today;

some days ago I did some folder clean up, and mistakely
moved my documents Under my music.

restored My documents by correcting the location tab
of "My documents" link from Desktop->Documents->MyDocuments.
in Windows Explorer. pgadmin.log is in that folder Under Win7 anyways. C:\users\[accoun]\Documents.

Works just fine now, blood pressure back to normal.
Cheers, Spike

The application I have been developing is great except one flaw. When Windows NT shuts down, it doesn't send the Event to my application (if it did, it would close all of the open forms and kill an activity flag I create on launch) and an error comes up that says "Cannot Quit". I have no idea where this error is coming from as I did put it in...
