2. If you are not upgrading an existing system then skip to .
skip to 4.
6. Install the program. Type
$ gmake install
The installer needs to have write access to the install directory.
8. Create the database installation. To do this you must log in to your PostgreSQL superuser account. It will not
workas root.
$ mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data $ chown postgres /usr/local/pgsql/data
I thought the data directory was created either in the gmake install step
or initdb. Either way the chown might be better as:
# chown -R postgres:postgres /usr/local/pgsql
that should be the same on most systems with perhaps the exception of the
colon. Anyway it'll make sure that all the files have the correct owners.
9. The previous step should have told you how to start up the database server. Do so now.
$ /usr/local/pgsql/initdb/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
Shouldn't that be /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster ?? ^^^
Outside of that, it looks great!!
Vince.
