1) Make sure your shared_buffers setting is big enough to handle your
   desired connection limit.

2) Make sure your kernel's shared memory limits allow for your
   shared_buffers setting.

If you can't get it to start, please post the server log entries from
the failed attempt--otherwise we have nothing to go on.
