Hi,

I am trying to setup postgresql bdr 9.4. I have to do regular restart of DB
server after doing changes in postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf. After
restart the postgresql.conf file does not load. It gives the following
error:

/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf not found

I could not find any solution to this issue. Requesting your kind reply to
this issue.

Regards,

So how do you recreate the postgresql.conf file?

Maybe you have some HA tool that starts up another server, and delete
this one's config file in order to prevent split-brain.

Exactly, I am not able to recreate the postgresql.conf file.

I checked every log and I can't find a file that is deleting the
postgres.conf file.

I have to setup everything all over again inside a new VM, which is a
impractical scenario for operations.

Thanks Alvaro. Since this happens during the multi-master bdr setup, could
the other postgres instance within bdr, begin up and running while we
restart this one, delete this one's config? What do you mean split-brain?

BDR by itself does not do that, to the best of my knowledge.  I hope you
didn't install the files twice somehow, so that one node's files
overwrote the other node's; I would be very surprised if it let you do
that anyway.

PFA the snapshot of the path:

/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main/

The files postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf are missing.

Hi ARNAB,

Please check default location of postgresql if you installed through the
apt-get - /etc/postgresql/9.4/main/postgresql.conf.

Hi Shreeyansh,

I followed these two links for postgresql bdr setup:

https://gist.github.com/RafaelMCarvalho/4d5cce26a45d1d5f87d0643a699d41c2

https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/bdr/bdr-installation-instructions/

Hence, the default installation directory created was:
/var/lib/postgresql/9.4/main     and.
/var/lib/postgresql/9.4-bdr/main
