Initdb fails for me when host machine has no access to the Postgres build
location.
LOG: could not open directory .../install/share/timezone": No such file or
directory
LOG: could not open directory .../install/share/timezone": No such file or
directory
WARNING: could not open directory .../install/share/timezonesets": No such
file or directory
HINT: This may indicate an incomplete PostgreSQL installation,
or that the file .../bin.Linux/postgres" has been moved away from its
proper location.
FATAL: invalid value for parameter "timezone_abbreviations": "Default"
DEBUG: shmem_exit(1): 0 callbacks to make
DEBUG: proc_exit(1): 0 callbacks to make
DEBUG: exit(1)
The postgres executable is in the proper place.
The truncated paths .../install/share/timezone, etc point to the original build
location.
The timezone and other files are available in the local directory:
share % ls -1
conversion_create.sql
information_schema.sql
pg_hba.conf.sample
pg_ident.conf.sample
pg_service.conf.sample
postgres.bki
postgres.description
postgresql.conf.sample
postgres.shdescription
psqlrc.sample
recovery.conf.sample
snowball_create.sql
sql_features.txt
system_views.sql
timezone
timezonesets
tsearch_data
I call initdb with the -L option pointing to that directory, from initdb log I
can see that it is indeed being used for certain things -
POSTGRES_BKI=.../share/postgres.bki
POSTGRES_DESCR=.../share/postgres.description
POSTGRES_SHDESCR=.../share/postgres.shdescription
POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=.../share/postgresql.conf.sample
PG_HBA_SAMPLE=.../share/pg_hba.conf.sample
PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=.../share/pg_ident.conf.sample
I am wondering why the timezone files cannot be found there as well?
This is quite urgent and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Michael.
