I think you modified the wrong file. The one in the share directory is
the default one in case you mess up and need to start over. You need to
modify the postgresql.conf file in the database cluster directory. If
you did the defaults with the installer and it created the database
cluster that would be \Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-rc2\data\. Be
sure to restart the the database server after any changes.
