You have evidently got a 7.4 version of the initscript. I would suggest a very very careful recheck of what you did during the installation process, because this suggests you have got some unholy mixture of 7.3 and 7.4 installations, which is a recipe for disaster. Were you trying to install 7.3 over a pre-existing 7.4 installation by any chance? Your best bet may be to save aside the data directory (eg, rename /var/lib/pgsql out of the way), then completely deinstall every Postgres file you can find, then reinstall 7.3 from scratch, then put back the data directory. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
