Gareth StationeryHey all!
I'm muddled up about something.
I'm creating a new database, and absolute paths are disallowed.
Therefore I su to postgres ( the owner of the service ) and run the
following:
export PGDATA2=/bla/bla/bla
initlocation PGDATA2
initlocation returns fine - telling me to create the database as per usual.
I therefore do:
createdb v2 -D 'PGDATA2'
But I get:
ERROR: Postmaster environment variable 'PGDATA2' not set
createdb: database creation failed
I echo it - to test it - it works.
I put it in the bash_profile of the user, restart postgres... nothing...
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone
