1. Set the following in postgresql.conf file --> log_rotation_age = 1 2. rename the already present log file from dbserver logs folder 3. Now do --> pg_ctl reload (so that log_rotation_age change you did comes in affect) 4. Check the log folder after a while (after 1 minutes) and it will be having a new log file and doing all the logging there 5. After it starts the logging you can revert the change done to rotation_age and do a reload again.
Thanks! for the reply, it is a small file. the file size on it is 735K that's pretty small. Not sure why it stopped writing to the log file, is there any way to start logging without starting postgres ?
