&gt; * Allow pg_ctl to work properly with configuration files located outside
&gt;   the PGDATA directory
&gt;
&gt;   pg_ctl can not read the pid file because it isn't located in the
&gt;   config directory but in the PGDATA directory.  The solution is to
&gt;   allow pg_ctl to read and understand postgresql.conf to find the
&gt;   data_directory value.
