Problem Description:
--------------------
I type initdb following all directions at http://research.iphil.net/postgresql/docs/admin/c0302.htm
in directory /usr/local/pgsql. I get the error:
Running: postgres -boot -C -F -D/usr/local/pgsql/data -Q template1 < /tmp/create
.1182
ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "template1": can't parse "template1"
ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "template1": can't parse "template1"
initdb: could not log template database
I haven't touched the template. No make or compile errors, however,
I wasn't asked about the template during ./configure
I even tried ./configure --with-template=linux_i386
What could be wrong?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
try to do this on Linux RedHat 5.2 on AMD Pentium II-350
by untarring, and following directions from given place,
with above mentioned version of tools.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
Have no idea that's why I am asking....I would love to
use your database program...if I can't get it up, I
have to use Microsoft Access on NT. Please save me from this.
