Logged by: Tomas Enrique Cardozo Baudry
Email address: tomas.enrique.cardozo.baudry@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.4
Operating system: Centos 5.6
Description: postgresql service script
Details:
configuring the posgresql.conf on another port the service doesnt load the
port variable, because in the postgresql service script is a variable PGPORT
and this rewrite the configuration variable
solution (replace the port number with a script variable reader):
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data
#PGPORT=5432 #### <--- this is the bug
PGPORT=`/bin/cat $PGDATA/postgresql.conf | /bin/grep â^port' | /bin/sed
's/port = //g'`
