The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 6488
Logged by: Paul Linehan
Email address: linehanp(at)tcd(dot)ie
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.2
Operating system: Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)
Description:
The short version of the instructions say
========================
Short Version
./configure
gmake
su
gmake install
adduser postgres
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
su - postgres
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test
=================================
but, there should be an "exit" between
the lines
chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
su - postgres
otherwise, the system gets confused with
file permissions for the data directory
and throws the error
==========================
FATAL: data directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data" has group or world access
==========================
Should you require any further
information, please don't hesitate
to contact me.
Rgs,
Paul...
