PostgreSQL version: 9.3.2
Operating system: Kubuntu 13.04
Description:
I installed postgres 9.3 on a machine where 9.1 was installed. I
dumped/loaded the 9.1 databases into 9.3. I then stopped and uninstalled
9.1.
When I installed, since there was already a postgres installed, the port was
assigned to 5433.
I then used a secondary configuration file to hold my configuration changes
for postgres (shared memory etc) and used the include statement in
postgresql.conf. One of the lines in that secondary file was port = 5432.
I then restarted postgres to put the changes into effect.
When I started psql, it gave an error that it couldn't connect to port
5433.
I think it was reading postgresql.conf, and ignoring the included files that
had changed the port number.
This is a very minor bug, and was easily worked around by changing the port
configuration in the postgresql.conf file.
