I have begun installing software from source and to make matters more complicated, this is the first time I have worked with postgresql. I have worked through a few problems but am now stuck with this error:
FATAL: "/usr/local/etc/pgsql" is not a valid data directory
DETAIL: File "/usr/local/etc/pgsql/PG_VERSION" is missing.
I searched for PG_VERSION to no avail using the following command:
# find / -name PG_VERSION -print
Apparently this is not an element within postgresql.conf either.
I inadvertently deleted the install log.
I have tried to find out what should be in the data directory but was unsuccessful.
I am using FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Feb 18 02:24:46 UTC 2011 and built
I am using postgres (PostgreSQL) 9.2.1
Please advise.
Thanks,
