I recently installed Postgresql 9.1 on Fedora 16. I must admit I may not have run the install procedures correctly.
I have found postings that talk about the difference between "su postgres" vs "su - postgres". The dash (-) makes it a login shell But do understand the difference. I suspect that, in my ignorance, I used su postgres
So here is what happens when I start the server as follows: /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data start I get: could not change directory to "/home/kbd" server starting
But the server starts OK. Would like to fix the above issue.
If I do: /usr/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data status I get: could not change directory to "/home/kbd" pg_ctl: server is running (PID: 3142)
On Shut down I get the same could not change directory to "/home/kbd"
