I think you're getting bit by a standard beginner gotcha: commenting out an entry in postgresql.conf will not change the state of a running postmaster. (A comment is a no-op, eh?) You need to put in a non-comment entry that sets the desired state. There's been various discussions in the past about making this behavior less non-intuitive, but nothing's been settled on ... regards, tom lane
