After upgrading the database from 7.2 to 7.2.2 both relative and absolute paths are not accepted by either createdb or SQL-CREATE. AFAIK our provider used a default built.
Using createdb I created databases in custom locations everal times before, and it worked ('datenbank/db_cluster' being the relative location of the database_cluster); This context-independent output illustrates the problem. immoma=# create database import with location = '/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/kunden/web41/datenbank/db_cluster'; ERROR: Absolute paths are not allowed as database locations immoma=# create database import with location = 'datenbank/db_cluster'; ERROR: Relative paths are not allowed as database locations The environment is as follows: Operating System (uname -a): Linux julius64 2.4.14 #34 Wed Jan 23 17:41:57 MET 2002 i686 unknown PostgreSQL Version (psql -V) psql (PostgreSQL) 7.2 (although it should be 7.2.2 according to our provider) -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
