The first of these is a mistake (Peter thought he'd fixed it a month ago, but his fix was incomplete; I believe I've fixed the fix, and am about to reboot into OSX to check). The second is OS X's bug: it ought to take en_US as a legal setting for LC_TIME, but seems not to. It is depressing that Apple evidently didn't fix that in 10.2. See prior discussion http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2002-08/msg00062.php It seems we have not done anything about trying to validate the user's LANG/LC_xxx environment settings, and so initdb is quite capable of accepting settings that will prevent the postmaster from starting. The short-term fix is to fix your LANG before initdb, or tweak the postgresql.conf file after. Oh, and file a bug report with Apple ;-) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/faq.html
