Hi Im tying to initialize the cluster using initdb and encoding 'UTF8' initdb -E UTF8 -D /export/home/josh/postgres8.3/pgsql/data
But I get this error The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "josh". This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locales COLLATE: en_CA.ISO8859-1 CTYPE: en_CA.ISO8859-1 MESSAGES: C MONETARY: en_CA.ISO8859-1 NUMERIC: en_CA.ISO8859-1 TIME: C initdb: encoding mismatch The encoding you selected (UTF8) and the encoding that the selected locale uses (LATIN1) do not match. This would lead to misbehavior in various character string processing functions. Rerun initdb and either do not specify an encoding explicitly, or choose a matching combination.
Why do I get this error? How can I solve this? Thanks josh
