I would agree with your recommendation to run the latest 8.0.x in all cases
except this one. The issue is that Moteview is an app bundled with Postgres and
seems to have some setup scripts included to get things started. I am trying to
get the OP back to the baseline setup and establish that the app works out of
the box as designed by the app developers. Once that happens then it is
possible to move forward. My guess that what is happening is cross
contamination between the set up from the original install and the manual
upgrade to 8.3. Starting from the beginning narrows the variables.
