you are using some options which came with later postgresql releases.

OK

you can review all runtime options for 7.3 here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/runtime-config.html

for 7.3, the default was to log to standard output.
so you will have to redirect it, either to syslog (by setting syslog =
1), or to a file using shell redirection, or with pg_ctl option.
see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/app-pg-ctl.html
