I just installed postgreSQL 9.1 and noticed it hard-codes the folder /var/lib/pgsql/9.1 and it hard-codes the service name to be postgresql91.  My previous version of 8.4.4 uses the generic folder /var/lib/pgsql/data and the generic service name postgresql.  This causes a problem for me because I have a lot of tools and software that uses the old path and name.

 

Why is the hard-coded version included in the naming?  Is there some install method to keep it using the generic names?

 

Thanks,

Jerry
