searchpath reverts to default after each server restart

[JonathanSFL]

When i run the command
SET search_path TO custom,idsystems, clientdata, configs, replication, structure, archive;
then when I run
SHOW search_path;
it does show those schemas as the search_path. however when i restart the postgresql service, the search_path has reverted to $User, public.
when i put the SET search_path function in the postgresql.conf file (as below) the service wouldn't restart. i think because it doesn't like the "public" schema (which i don't use).

#[postgresql.conf file:]
# the postgresql service wouldn't start with this setting.

search_path = custom,idsystems,clientdata,configs,replication,structure,archive,public;
#schema names
#default_tablespace = ''        # a tablespace name, '' uses the default
#temp_tablespaces = ''            # a list of tablespace names, '' uses
                    # only

i think i fixed it by using the ALTER DATABASE command with it.
alter database "MYDATABASE" SET search_path TO custom, clientdata, configs, replication, structure, archive;

Do not remove apos, should be

search_path = 'custom,idsystems,clientdata,configs,replication,structure,archive,public'
