This is only cosmetic but it gets the point across that the two are not compatible on-disk, as Tom already said.

Re: [GENERAL] roll back to 8.1 for PyQt driver work-around
sound like you have a postmaster.pid in your PGDATA directory.

Re: [GENERAL] roll back to 8.1 for PyQt driver work-around
Thanks for the tips. I've created separate log files for the two versions of pg, but postmaster still won't start. When I try to start 8.3, the log file lists a fatal error in the postgresql.conf file. But there are no obvious errors in that file. Line 107 reads: shared_buffers = 1600kB. I've also tried grep'ing for port 5432, but it all looks clear. eg: tiento:~ root# lsof -Pni | grep :5432 -- yields nothing tiento[yfilm]% ps uxwa | grep postgres postgres 46547 0.0 0.1 604328 1204 s006 S+ 11:09PM 0:00.10 -tcsh root 46546 0.0 0.1 75536 1064 s006 S 11:09PM 0:00.02 su - postgres frankel 46720 0.0 0.0 599780 392 s003 R+ 8:58AM 0:00.00 grep postgres Here's the full text from the log file: FATAL: syntax error in file /Library/PostgreSQL8/data/ postgresql.conf line 107, near token kB FATAL: syntax error in file /Library/PostgreSQL8/data/ postgresql.conf line 107, near token kB LOG: could not bind IPv6 socket: Address already in use HINT: Is another postmaster already running on port 5432?

Re: [GENERAL] roll back to 8.1 for PyQt driver work-around
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!
