It was recommended to add the parameter ssl_renegotiation_limit with value 0 to postgresql.conf to turn off the SSL renegotiation. As I do this, database system will not start again.

An 8.4.7 server should definitely accept that parameter. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
