PostgreSQL version: 10.4
Operating system: CentOS7
Description:
Hello,
I am new to this forum, i am facing this issue, where i get the below
error.
sudo -u shahid ./pg_ctl -D /root/pgsql10x/data/ initdb invalid binary
"/root/pgsql10x/bin/pg_ctl" invalid binary "/root/pgsql10x/bin/pg_ctl"
invalid binary "/root/pgsql10x/bin/pg_ctl" The program "initdb" is needed by
pg_ctl but was not found in the same directory as "pg_ctl". Check your
installation.
FYI , I am trying to run this from root. I have built from the source. I am
trying version 10. on CentOS7. I downloaded direct from postgres site. I am
not facing this problem when i run as non-root user.
I have all the files in the bin directory, as shared below , bin directory
