I wonder if some kind soul could give me some help in tracking down the problem. I've tried looking at the below mentioned files and can't see anything wrong . Perhaps something got overwritten?

PostgreSQL requires a dump/restore for an upgrade from 8.2.x to 8.3.x. This also entails saving a copy of pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf and merging any changes you have made into the new versions. It is normal for the PostgreSQL server to refuse to start if it detects that its database structure is outdated. Regards, Neil Darlow
