Re: Issue with postgresql-9.4 init.d script

The issue is if some other application has set PGPORT in environment
variable, it reads that. It doesn't check the port mentioned in
postgresql.conf.
For example in my case, We have PostgresPlus advanced server setup on some
port and this variable is set. Now , postgresql 9.4 is reading that
variable and not the port mentioned in postgresql.conf. Thus , server start
fails.
