Hi people,
Right I've setup postgres numerous times without a problem, and this
time I'm using all the same stuff but running into a problem where
initdb won't run without the postgres server running, and the
postgres server will not run without the postgresql.conf etc that
initdb creates!
To start with I tried the following:
#/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb SEE --encoding='LATIN1'
Which gave me the error :
createdb: could not connect to database
postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
So okay, I'll try and start the server:
#/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /data/postgres
>/data/postgres/psql.log 2>&1 &
and in psql.log I get the error:
"postgres cannot access the server configuration file
"/data/postgres/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory"
I shout at it I know!!!! Initdb should have done it!!
Anyone got any idea what's eating my lunch? Maybe I ran something in
the wrong order?
Thanks
Glyn
