Hi,
bash-2.04$ initlocation /pg_test/
The location will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
Fixing permissions on pre-existing directory /pg_test/
Creating directory /pg_test//base
initlocation is complete.
bash-2.04$ createdb -D /pg_test/ test
ERROR: The database path '/pg_test/' is invalid. This may be due to a
character that is not allowed or because the chosen path isn't permitted for
databases
createdb: database creation failed
So, where is the problem?
