PostgreSQL 8.0.2 - Fedora 3


data_directory = '/usr/local/pgsql/data2'               # use data in
hba_file = '/usr/local/pgsql/etc/pg_hba.conf'   # the host-based #
ident_file = 'ConfigDir/pg_ident.conf'  # the IDENT configuration file
external_pid_file = '/tmp/foo.pid'              # write an extra pid

as postgres:

-bash-3.00$ bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/etc start
postmaster starting
-bash-3.00$ LOG:  could not open Ident usermap file
"/usr/local/pgsql/etc/pg_ident.conf": No such file or directory
LOG:  database system was shut down at 2005-05-06 13:11:18 PDT
LOG:  checkpoint record is at 0/A32B20
LOG:  redo record is at 0/A32B20; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG:  next transaction ID: 544; next OID: 17230
LOG:  database system is ready

-bash-3.00$ bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/etc stop
pg_ctl: PID file "/usr/local/pgsql/etc/postmaster.pid" does not exist
Is postmaster running?
-bash-3.00$

Seems inconsistent? If I can start from etc... I should be able to stop
from it as well.

Sincerely,
