Greetings

I installed postgressql from RH a4_64 rpms. I created a user postgres (non-system UID) and tried to run initdb getting:

creating template1 database in /data1/postgres_data/base/1 ... child process exited with exit code 1
initdb: removing contents of data directory "/data1/postgres_data"

Can anyone point me to a log or other data source to try to understand what's going on?

Thanks

Mike
