THX all !!
My fault is I set the $PGDATA enviroment variable in /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql like usual in 8.4
renaming the file to postgresql-9.1 solve the isue.

Thanks guys!

Hi!

I've set my PGDATA variable in profile
export PGDATA=/home/mydata/pgsql/data

Testing variable for correct set in enviroment
$ echo $PGDATA
/home/mydata/pgsql/data

but when execute:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 initdb

or execute:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 initdb -D /home/mydata/pgsql/data

The cluster always is created on default path "/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/"

Will install in CentOS 5.7

Thx
