I edited postgresql.conf and changed:
shared_buffers = 5000 work_mem = 16384
max_stack_depth = 4096
and then restarted postgres. The puzzling part is that postgres actually
started. When I have done this on other boxes, I had to edit kernel settings
to allow for more shared memory.
You can confirm whether the settings are actually taking like this:
$ psql
Welcome to psql 8.2.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
postgres=# show shared_buffers;
shared_buffers
----------------
256MB
(1 row)
Since your shared_buffers setting should probably be in the hundreds of
megabytes range if you want good performance, you may need to update your
kernel settings anyway, but the above will let you see what the server is
actually starting with.
