Yet, as I reported earlier, whilst a symlink does seem to start the server, pg_ctl takes a long time to do so, and then report: "could not start server" anyway. But it actually *does* get started. So I figured maybe something was not entirely right with the symlink, either. - Mark -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
