The above is more than eight years old, approach with caution.

You have already been told this is not a good idea. Instead modify the
postgresql.conf that was created by initdb. Same for pg_hba.conf below.

Again, tcpip_socket no longer exists.

First match wins in pg_hba.conf, so it is important where the lines
where commented out and added. In other words, need to see the complete
listing to tell much, though I suspect this does not have anything to do
with the problem below.

So the above is the start up logging(which usually just goes to the
screen), before Postgres starts logging to its log file.

Per John's post in $PGDATA/pg_log. If there is nothing relevant in there
you might want to look in the system log to see if the OS is shutting
down Postgres for some reason.
