Hi
 
I'm a french user. I have installed a 7.1 postgresql version on my linux server. (Redhat 7.2)
 
I have a problem with starting postgresql.
 
I initialize database with initdb then I modify data in postgresql.conf file.
After that I run the postmaster with the -i option and when I want to test something like createdb, it starts to do something and stays in this state. I don't have the postgresql prompt !
Nothing's happen, the server works but like if it'd be crashed.
When I type e.g.  psql template1  it makes nothing too.
 
 
I am a newbie in linux and postgresql and I am lost in all these configurations I have to do !!!
Please help me
 
Thanks by advance.
Pierre-Alexis
