Hi,
I install PostgreSQL 7.3.21 successfully with sudo and could start the postmaster as sudo.
Then I want to initialise my own db as unprivileged user. I run the following commands:
root# mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# chown kakolis /usr/local/pgsql/data
root# su kakolis
kakolis$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data.
The last command gives the following output:
Fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/local/pgsql/data... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/base... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/global... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_xlog... ok
creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data/pg_clog... ok
creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1...
initdb failed.
Where is the problem?
Regards,
Kakoli
