I ran an initdb, but got a message that the Encoding I specified was
invalid, so I tried to run it again, and now I get:
initdb: directory "/var/lib/pgsql/data" exists but is not empty
If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty
the directory "/var/lib/pgsql/data" or run initdb
with an argument other than "/var/lib/pgsql/data".
The only thing in the $PGDATA directory are the pg_hba.conf and
postgresql.conf files.
If I try to run a pg_ctl start, I get this:
17271 2014-01-07 09:10:15.060 PST FATAL: "/var/lib/pgsql/data" is not a
valid data directory
17271 2014-01-07 09:10:15.060 PST DETAIL: File
"/var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION" is missing.
What can I do?
This is postgres 8.4, which is the only version currently available for
Scientific Linux in its repository.
Thanks,
Susan
