It looks to me like you tried to start the postmaster with a relative PGDATA path (something like "postmaster -D ."). Try an absolute path instead. (IIRC, PG 7.1 and later will accept a relative path, but earlier versions don't cope. If you are indeed running something older than 7.1, it's definitely a good idea to update.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
