I do. If I put the correct value all works fine (I took the
sample and edited it).

"postgresql.conf" 25L, 685C [w]
Thanks for using Vim 507 . --Sven Guckes(at)vim(dot)org!
$ pwd

$ cat data/postgresql.conf
#
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form
#
# name = value
#
# (The `=' is optional.) White space is collapsed, comments are
# introduced by `#' anywhere on a line. The complete list of option
# names and allowed values can be found in the PostgreSQL
# documentation. Examples are:

log_connections = on
fsync = off
#max_backends = 64
syslog_facility = LOCAL5.3we4rwjtasrtuert
syslog_progid = pgtest
syslog=2
showportnumber = on

# Any option can also be given as a command line switch to the
# postmaster, e.g., `postmaster --log-connections=on'. Some options
# can be set at run-time with the `SET' SQL command.
