The problem is the PGDATA directory permissions, not so much the permissions of the file. PG checks if the permissions of that directory are 700, and refuses to start otherwise. (In PG11, the check got relaxed a bit so 750 is also ok now, but that won't change our problem much in practice.) > if it is an option: storing the postgresql.auto.conf in the > /etc/postgresql/11/oefensets/ dir would open the option to set the > permissions to -rw-r--r-- > Or is there a good reason not to store this file here? PG insists that this file is located in PGDATA. There is no option to move it elsewhere like there is for postgresql.conf. Christoph
