i want to make database in another place and i'm unable to use initlocation, and i don't know, what i'm doing wrong.

this is what i do, and i think it's correct.

www:/home/db/postgres$ su postgres
postgres@www:/home/db/postgres$ ls -l
total 12
drwx------  6 postgres postgres 4096 Aug 31 14:59 data
drwxr-xr-x  2 postgres postgres 4096 Aug 31 14:19 data-web
drwx------  3 postgres postgres 4096 Oct 15  2004 dumpall
postgres@www:/home/db/postgres$ /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initlocation /home/db/postgres/data-web/
initlocation: cannot be run as root

What does the command whoami say right before you would run the
initlocation?

I think a more appropriate question would be why is he running a version of PostgreSQL that still has initlocation?

Sincerely,
