I am unable to solve the following problem.When I start or stop PostgreSQL using pg_ctl (without the -D option) the system works fine. No errors. I have the PGDATA environment variable set and it points to my cluster. When I run the /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 script with either of "stop" or "start" as parameters I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d$ sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 start * Starting PostgreSQL 8.2 database server * Error: specified cluster does not exist [fail] and the same error when passing "stop" The cluster clearly exists and is recognized by pg_ctl. As a result PostgreSQL does not start with the system and must be started and stopped manually. I am running Ubuntu linux (very close to Debian). There must be a configuration error but I cannot find it.
Do the paths set in /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.2 conform to your PG* environment variables?
