Postgresql Error - FATAL: unrecognized configuration parameter "default_text_search_config"

Question

I've just installed PostgreSQL yesterday and it ran fine with the exact same command:

pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start -l /usr/local/pgsql/log/pgsql.log

However, when I tried to run it again today, it didn't work, and I found the following message in the log file:

FATAL:  unrecognized configuration parameter "default_text_search_config"

Can someone tell me what's wrong?

What version of PostgreSQL? Where did the install files come from? Your OS? — Erwin Brandstetter

That parameter is recognized since PostgreSQL 8.3. You must be installing 8.2 or older, which is unwise. It probably chokes on a config file from another installation in your PATH.

Current version is 9.1. Version 8.2 came out in 2006 (!), it reaches end of life in 2011 (no more security upgrades). Install a more recent version.
