Hi

I am trying to create a database and use the following command:
'createdb <database-name>'

However I get the following error:
ERROR:  CREATE DATABASE: could not initialize database directory
createdb: database creation failed

I am pretty sure that the database is up and running, I used the command
'ps -aux | grep "postures"' and got back the following :
postgres  9510  0.0  0.3  1292  512 pts/2    S    11:22   0:00 grep
postures

I was hopeing(praying!) if anyone could help me...

Thanks a lot,

Richie
