Thread: initdb failed ...
Hi all,
After a successful installation of version 7.3, when I tried the
command:
initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
I got the following messages:
creating 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/database/1 ...
initdb failed
removing /usr/local/pgsql/data
I am lost because I install a use several previous versions
on the same box and never had any problems.
Thanks for any help.

Please try it like this: initdb -d [other options as usual] 2>init.err and send us the last few dozen lines of init.err. regards, tom lane
