Обсуждение: Starting PostMaster

Thanks for first responces.

Instaled this morning
indications all successful

typing these commands as "postgres" a user as per the INSTALL

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

gives:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster does not find the database system.
Expected to find it in the PGDATA directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data", but
unable to open file with pathname
"/usr/local/pgsql/data/base/template1/pg_class".

No data directory -- can't proceed.


Thanks in advance

Ashley

Did you run initdb first?  This creates the default data directory you
need:

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data

Make sure /usr/local/pgsql/data exists and is owned by postgres.
