When has the above error message been produced? During installation or when you manually started it? When you do a userchange to postgres (`su root` -> `su postgres`) and touch the file (`touch /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.3-main.log`), what happens? If it succeeds, try running `dpkg-reconfigure postgresql-8.3` as root. Regards, Tobias
