I have build postgresql-8.3.6-1PGDG for rhel5.3 x86_64

But I have problem while starting the postgresql server.

When I comment "redirect_stderr" in /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf
file

the server starts properly.

If I have the above line the and try to start, I can see below in the
pgstartup.log

FATAL: unrecognized configuration parameter "redirect_stderr"

redirect_stderr was renamed to logging_collector in version 8.3.

In general, copying an older version's config file without checking
for changes is a bad idea --- we feel free to whack around the parameter
set as well as the possible values in any major release.
