地点:/ Library / PostgreSQL / 14 /数据/ postgresql.conf

系统:MacOS Monterey

只是给那些正在寻找这条道路的人……

对于ubuntu 18/20，执行以下命令找到postgresql.conf文件:

locate postgresql.conf

如果你的linux中没有locate，那么先运行sudo apt-get install locate来安装locate。

我的postgres *.conf文件在哪里?

使用sql查询数据库:

SHOW config_file;

你可能很难找到postgresql.conf的原因是因为它属于postgres，而不是root。

以下是我在Fedora 17上的地址:

[root@defiant /]# ll /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf 

注意它属于postgres:

-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 19332 Oct 14 09:38 
     /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

它有权限600，这就解释了为什么你很难用文件搜索找到它。postgresql.conf的位置将根据您使用的操作系统而有所不同。

以下是我的内容:

# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.)  Whitespace may be used.  Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line.  The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload".  Some
# parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to
# take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on".  Some parameters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.
#
# Memory units:  kB = kilobytes        Time units:  ms  = milliseconds
#                MB = megabytes                     s   = seconds
#                GB = gigabytes                     min = minutes
#                                                   h   = hours
#                                                   d   = days

Run

sudo updatedb

紧随其后的是

locate postgresql.conf

我的安装不是默认的，但你可以去Postgres目录，找到子目录\Data。

配置文件 C: \ Postgres \ \ postgresql.conf数据 C: \ Postgres \ \ pg_hba.conf数据

如果您刚刚安装了它，locate可能不起作用。在这种情况下，服务应该正在运行，您可以运行

ps aux  | grep 'postgres *-D'

查看postgresql-master从哪里加载配置文件。
