Pgpool tries to locate the full path of pool_passwd (which is neccesary for MD5 auth) from pgpool.conf path. This is fine with -n option. However if pgpool starts without -n option, it changes current directory to "/", which is neccessary processs for daemonizing. As a result, pgpool tries to open "/pool_passwd", which will not successs.</dd><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></dl><div><div>On May 8, 2013, at 8:00 PM, Jayadevan M <<a href="mailto:jayadevan.maymala@ibsplc.com">jayadevan.maymala@ibsplc.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">Hi,<br>Though the password I am supplying is the same and I have not made any changes to the pgpol password, the values in the error message change.
