Re: PG on zeta 1.0

The DB can be anywhere

Export the PG variables or run the pg_ctl as follows

nohup pg_ctl -o -i -D /wherever/your/data/dir/is start &

My postgresql.conf is located in /usr/local/pgsql/data, so my command would be

nohup pg_ctl -o -i -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start &

Heres what I get:

 

/bin/nohup:   appending output to 'nohup. out'

 

and in nohup out:

 

postmaster starting

postmaster cannot access the server configuration file "/boot/home/webserver/databases/postgresql.conf" No such file or directory.

 

My database folder is in boot/home. Should this be moved?
