Ok, got the default database (postgres) running.

Trying to create a “user” database for the application…

Can anyone spot what im doing wrong here?

 

createdb -e -D /pgsql/DEV -E UTF8 -l en_US.UTF-8 -O postgres DEV

CREATE DATABASE "DEV" OWNER postgres TABLESPACE "/pgsql/DEV" ENCODING 'UTF8' LC_COLLATE 'en_US.UTF-8' LC_CTYPE 'en_US.UTF-8';

createdb: database creation failed: ERROR:  tablespace "/pgsql/DEV" does not exist


The TABLESPACE clause wants the name of an existing tablespace - not a non-existence path.  Tablespaces are objects in their own right.
