I just installed Postgres.app on my Mac, and I need to make some specific configuration to server. For example I want to use different port, not 5432.
I found that it have postgresql.conf at ~/Library/Application\ Support/Postgres/var/postgresql.conf, but even if I change value of port = to something other, it listen on 5432 after server restart.
Seems that this postgresql.conf isn’t used by Postgress.app. Where it stores server configuration files?
The postgresql.conf-file at
~/Library/Application\ Support/Postgres/var/is used by Postgres.app. The only problem: if you change the port in that file, that change will not be reflected in the menu-bar. So the elephant over there will still say “Running on Port 5432”, although postgres might be running on, for example, port 5433. (Mac OS X 10.8.2, Server.app 2.2, Postgres.app 9.2.2.0)
