Scott,

I get this error.

server starting
krishnam@nipa-umh:/media/extension/var/lib$ postgres: invalid argument: "config_file=/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf"

tried with both -o and -c arguments.

My mistake, I screwed up!

/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D /media/extension/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/ -o "-c config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf"

 (-c inside the quotes)

--Scott
