Cheers. ----- nowhere do you actually say what you are trying to do. Are you trying to start postgresql server? /sbin/service postgresql start Are you trying to get postgresql server to start on each boot? /sbin/chkconfig postgresql on Are you trying to use the client application? /usr/bin/psql [options] Are you trying to locate the configuration files? /var/lib/pgsql/data Craig
