Okay have found info in documentation and have change locale support to C.
I have just installed 7.4.2 and initialized a database using the default values. When I start the database It fails with the following message:
FATAL: invalid value for parameter "lc_messages": "en_US"
Looking at the postgresql.conf file I see the following lines:
# These settings are initialized by initdb -- they may be changed
lc_messages = 'en_US' # locale for system error message strings
lc_monetary = 'en_US' # locale for monetary formatting
lc_numeric = 'en_US' # locale for number formatting
lc_time = 'en_US' # locale for time formatting
Why am I getting this error message?
