I'll just quickly run down what I did and hopefully someone can help me out.
cd /usr/src/postgresql-7.0.3/src
./configure --prefix=/usr/pgsql
make
make install
mkdir /usr/pgsql/data
chown postgres /usr/pqsql/data
su - postgres
initdb -D /usr/pgsql/data
// I have placed initdb in the path, as well as already created the user
postgres. There are NO existing versions of postgreSQL on this machine and
this is the first time I am installing it.
The error I get is as follows:
---
[postgres@ pgsql]$ initdb -D /usr/pgsql/data
This database system will be initialized with username "postgres".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.
Fixing permissions on pre-existing data directory /usr/pgsql/data

initdb failed.
Removing /usr/pgsql/data.
Removing temp file /tmp/initdb.20382.

There has to be some sort of logical explaination for this. I am running
Linux-2.2.x
Any help would be appreciated.
