STOP! Don't touch anything just yet. Now we know the real reason for the 
question.

Do you have an idea what may have caused this? Are there any relevant 
errors in the log? What is the source of the file that you want to use 
as a replacement? What version of PG? OS? Is the database able to start? 
Are you attempting to connect as a superuser?

With this as a starting point you may get some valuable advice (though 
from those people far more capable of answering this question than I).

Cheers,
Steve
