Again,

pg_ctl: could not open PID file "/media/extension/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/postmaster.pid": Permission denied

Tried all the different ownership possible.

Thanks,

    Scott,

    I get this error.

    server starting
    krishnam@nipa-umh:/media/extension/var/lib$ postgres: invalid
    argument: "config_file=/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf"

    tried with both -o and -c arguments.


My mistake, I screwed up!

/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D /media/extension/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/ -o "-c config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf"

 (-c inside the quotes)

--Scott
