Sorry to drag this on further. Though I'm now able to start pg8.3 again (thanks!), I still can't launch pg8.1. Rolling back to 8.1 is my goal in order to work around a driver issue in Qt.

Is there an example postgresql.conf file for pg 8.1 I can review? Mine appears to be valid only for pg8.3.

Adding quotes to the shared_buffers value allows pg8.3 to start successfully. Unfortunately, pg8.1 continues to have issues with it. eg:


FATAL: syntax error in file "/Library/PostgreSQL8/data/ postgresql.conf" line 107, near token "kB"
FATAL:  parameter "shared_buffers" requires an integer value
FATAL: unrecognized configuration parameter "default_text_search_config"

Thanks again!
Scott

Line 107 reads:  "shared_buffers = 1600kB".

You need quotes, like
        shared_buffers = '1600kB'

FATAL:  incorrect checksum in control file

This looks like a version compatibility problem, though I'm surprised
it wasn't complained of earlier.
