No worries, that's what we don't get paid for :-).

That seems to have done the trick (no error message after a reboot). If it helps you out for future installers, I believe I had installed 8.4.0 in Snow Leopard before I realized it wasn’t compatible yet. I tried thoroughly uninstalling everything, but maybe I missed something.

sudo chmod 755 /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL
sudo chmod 755 /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL/PostgreSQL
sudo chmod 644 /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL/StartupParameters.plist
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL
The above should fix the startup item to properly start.

That certainly explains the problem, but not how it got set that way.
The problem is the ownership and permissions on the startup item.
It looks like the Apple installer used permissions that don't match what they were set to. That said, we are adding some scripting to the end of the installer to force things to a proper permission. I'll lpost when that is available.

Could both you you post the permissions from your StartupItems:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Oct 13 21:08 .
drwxrwxr-t+ 60 root admin 2040 Oct 13 21:08 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Oct 13 14:41 PostgreSQL

total 24
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Oct 13 14:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 3...

I also get that error. I can start the server through the preferences pain without error, but it would be nice to have Postgresql automatically start on boot. Here is the exact error message:
Insecure Startup Item disabled.
“/Library/StartupItems/PostgreSQL” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
Thanks for for any help,
Dave.
