it's sure that this email should to be write to
anywhere but here, but the various requests to help
done in some mailings lists about postgresqk are
failed.So i write you, in the hope to receive an
response.
Briefly the question.
I work under Linux platform, Mandrake 7.2
distribution, and i need to create a postgres
database, for example called "mydb", in alternative
location, for example "/home/username". In the
official documentation this is very simple to do, but
in the reality i have failed.
This is my steps
1) su - username
2) set PGDATA2 = "/home/username" (but i tried
relatives path too)
3) initlocation $PGDATA2
4) createdb -D $PGDATA2 mydb
Finally an error message appears like this
"The database path '/home/username' is invalid. This
may be due to a character that is not allowed or
because the chosen path isn't permitted for databases"
I tried the relatives paths "~" and "." too, but the
message is the same.
Please help me
I like to know the right procedure step by step
Thanck you so much
