So, what happens if you do this as the postgres user:

ls -l /var/lib/postgresql/8.0/main/pg_xlog/

I'm going to guess the output indicates you have a directory inside pg_xlog called pg_xlog_orig.

You probably just need to cd /opt/postgres/logs/wal/pg_xlog_orig as the postgres user and 'mv * .. ; cd .. ; rmdir pg_xlog_orig' to resolve your problem.

ln -s /opt/postgres/logs/wal pg_xlog
cp -r pg_xlog_orig/ pg_xlog

As root:
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.0 start



What did I do wrong, and even more important, what should I do?

TIA
