You need to learn more about postgres server mechanics... especially initdb,
pg_ctl, starting and stopping server and so on. See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime.html,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/runtime-config-file-locations.html.

To use existing data directory in new installation, you can just stop the
server, replace data_directory, and start the server. Remember about file
permissions - data_directory must be owned by server process owner
("postgres") and chmod 700.
