Hi all,
I have Postgres 9.3.2 running on Debian 7.
I would like to enable the pg_stat_statements extension. In order to do this, I added the following line to postgresql.conf:
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements'
However after that the server fails to restart and I get the following error message:
Restarting PostgreSQL 9.3 database server: mainThe PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output: 2014-02-06 15:12:34 CET FATAL: could not access file "pg_stat_statements": No such file or directory ... failed! failed!
Any ideas why?
Have you also installed the postgresql-contrib-9.3 package (via apt-get etc)? Once you do that, you'll likely need to create the extension in your database, eg. "create extension pg_stat_statements;", then you you can set the shared_preload_libraries value.
