Hi,
I am stopping the server as follows
/etc/init.d/postgres stop
starting the new /etc/init.d/postgres
my pg_log contains as follows logs
LOG: database system was shut down at 2009-09-21 13:40:53 IST
LOG: autovacuum launcher started
LOG: database system is ready to accept connections
>and are there any messages in /var/lib/pgsql/data/serverlog?
what do you mean by serverlog is this same as pg_log.
You seem to be using psql from 8.3.7 but running the 8.3.1 server still.
How *exactly* are you stopping the old server and starting the new one,
and are there any messages in /var/lib/pgsql/data/serverlog?

BTW, please don't top post. It ruins the flow of the conversation and
makes it very difficult to follow.
