I am trying to implement Kafka Connect service with Debezium Postgres Connector. Make changes for 'postgresql.conf' file such as:

  • wal_level='logical'
  • max_wal_senders='1'
  • max_replication_slots='1'
  • shared_preload_libraries='decoderbufs,wal2json'

After stopping and starting the Postgres service. The Postgres service failed to start. And unable to access 'psql'.

[postgres@supervm data]$ psql
psql: error: connection to server on socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: No such file or directory
        Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?
[postgres@supervm data]$ 

Check the Postgres log:

2022-02-23 01:34:52.719 +08 [13458] LOG:  configuration file "/var/lib/pgsql/14/data/postgresql.conf" contains errors; unaffected changes were applied

2022-02-23 01:59:09.476 +08 [13458] LOG:  database system is shut down

How I can resolve this matter. Been web searching but there are not many on this error.

I am a newbie to change data capture using Debezium. Any help is really valuable to me.

  • You're going to need to show your full Postgres config file. As the error says, it has some issue – OneCricketeer Feb 23 '22 at 04:22
  • Can't share the full Postgres config file since has word limits. But I think based on the logs the main issue is 'background worker "logical replication launcher" (PID 13467) exited with exit code 1' – roxy Feb 23 '22 at 04:33

    I would say you need to read [Replication settings](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-replication.html). `max_wal_senders` "...The default is 10..." and `max_replication_slots` "...The default is 10... Setting it to a lower value than the number of currently existing replication slots will prevent the server from starting. ..." – Adrian Klaver Feb 23 '22 at 05:19

    Please show the PostgreSQL error messages when you reload or restart. – Laurenz Albe Feb 23 '22 at 07:26

    "logical replication launcher" (PID 13467) exited with exit code 1". That message is normal whenever postgresql shuts down, it is unimportant here. But there should be a newer log file and/or entries describing why the start up failed. – jjanes Feb 23 '22 at 10:35
  • I'm getting the same error as you. Can you post the LOG just above "contains error"? mine says "parameter "shared_preload_libraries" cannot be changed without restarting the server" and I wonder if that's related – Jeff Aug 18 '22 at 19:40

I saw this contains errors; unaffected changes in the /var/log file, and found that the actual errors were in the systemd journal. Try journalctl -u postgresql@13-main (adjust for whatever version you're running.

Once you have the actual error log in hand, you should be able to address your configuration issue. In my case, I was binding to an invalid address:

# journalctl -u postgresql@13-main
