To use existing data directory in new installation, you can just stop
the server, replace data_directory, and start the server. Remember about
file permissions - data_directory must be owned by server process owner
("postgres") and chmod 700.
BUT - and this is a big but - the data *must* be from the same Postgres
major version, same architecture, etc.
This might have been mentioned upthread, but it's worth repeating.
