Please, disregard my last message. I've discovered that in "password" file it was mentioned a path '/var/lib/psql' where Mandrake distro installed postres previously. I've solved it.
But I still have another problem:
A later step in Postgres installation instructions says: "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data >logfile 2>&1 &" and with this I obtain: "bash: logfile: Dennied permission"
I don't know bash either, so I can't understand the problem.
Could you give me a hand?
Javier
Javier,
What user are you when installing postgres?
You might try to do the following:
--
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l /tmp/pgsql.log start
--
Basically, the problem you are having is that the user that you are currently logged intot he shell as, doesn't have permission to create/write to the 'logfile' in the current directory. My suggestion would write your log to the /tmo directory. (which most users should have access to write to)
