Good afternoon everyone, I am setting up Postgresql on my redhat 8 system. I have installed the files and have set up the proper directories, however I have run into a problem. I am trying to initialize the database with initdb. The command is
pg$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data I did not have a bin in that first half of the statement so in locating initdb, I found it in the dire /usr/bin. I then used the following line: pg$ /usr/bin/initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data After running the line above, I got a message saying success! I then started the postmaster and again everything went fine. However I need to create users for this database so I use the following command: pg$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createuser bruce I get an error stating there is no such directory. The question is, how do I get the postgres bin created? Also I am guessing that the bin should have commands that are specific to postgresql. Is there a way for me to import this bin from /usr/bin ? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Bruce __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
