In the past I've always done the following with success (this is under fedora core 6 x86_64):
mv /var/lib/pgsql/data /data/pg/ ln -s /data/pg/data /var/lib/pgsql/data /etc/init.d/postgresql start I just installed 8.2.2 on a new FC6 machine and when I do that it fails to start. The logs reveal nothing. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Gene
