Description of problem: There are old parameters in postgresql.conf, which are not available anymore, so commenting them out will make PostgreSQL not start. Haven't checked, but I hope there aren't other parameters which were removed, or missing new ones. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): postgresql-server-9.2.4-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Uncomment the option wal_sender_delay in the postgresql.conf file and restart postgresql. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: wal_sender_delay shouldn't be in the postgresql.conf file. Expected results: Additional info:

I checked the postgresql-server-9.2.4-1.fc18.x86_64 and the postgresql.conf.sample does not contain the wal_sender_delay parameter. Probably your postgresql.conf was installed in older fedora and then you made an upgrade? If this is the case, the upgrade process is unable to cover this details. You are always allowed to check the /usr/share/pgsql/postgresql.conf.sample file. If I'm not guessing good, please feel free to reopen, thanks, Pavel
