Re: BUG #13481: No config folder upon installation

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply!

I have found the configuration files (*.conf) located in the data directory
(the directory specified by -D option when initializing the database).

Is that the right place for the configuration files? Or do I need to create
the sysconfdir folder (PREFIX/etc) and move the configuration files there?
Or is the sysconfdir folder is only for the system-wise client
configuration files?
