The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 3950
Logged by: Wolvesden
Email address: c_william04(at)msn(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 8.3
Operating system: Windows XP
Description: Server Problems
Details:
For some reason when I upgraded to 8.3 I can't get the server to start.
What it keeps telling me is as Follows:
pg_ctrl: another server might be running; trying to start server anyway
FATAL: unreconized configuration parameter "redirect_stderr"
Not sure what this means but I know I was using this database for three
years and now all of a sudden I can't get into it.

This indicates that you're trying to use an 8.2 (or older) configuration
file with an 8.3 server. I speculate that you didn't bother with a dump
and reload, either. You can't just install 8.3 over 8.2 without a dump
and reload --- see the fine manual concerning upgrading to a new major
release.
