I'd guess that you didn't do an initdb and tried to run an 8.0
server with a 7.4 cluster. See the "Installation Instructions"
chapter of the documentation, in particular the "If You Are Upgrading"
section; see also "Migration Between Releases" in the "Backup and
Restore" chapter and the documentation for initdb:
