Great! I very much appreciate your help. I'm unclear on what I need to set PGDATA or the -D option with in order to run postmaster. Any idea? Here is what I'm trying and the errors given... $ postmaster "postmaster does not know where to find the database system data. You must specify the directory that contains the database system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment variable." So I tried $ postmaster -D /etc/rc.d/init.d" "FATAL: data directory /etc/rc.d/init.d has group or world access; permissions should be u=rwx (0700)" So I changed the permissions but that didn't work either. again, many thx Eric On Sat, 2003-10-18 at 06:21, Bruno LEVEQUE wrote: > With the postgresql-server-7.3-2PGDG.i386.rpm, you have installed a > file etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql, > if you run it like postgresql start, you must start postmaster and so > you can connect. > (I am not a specialist of RH so may be there is other thinks to know) > > Bruno > > > Eric M.
