Hi,
I am configuring a PG 8.1.9 on CentOS 5. I am seeing some anomalies and would like you feedback.
I have defined a new PGDATA=/qmsvol/pg_8.1.9/data, ran initdb -D /qmsvol/pg_8.1.9/data successfully and can start the engine with pg_ctl -D $PGDATA.
I have also populated /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql which overrides PGDATA and PGLOG to my values.
However if I try to start the engine with "/etc/init.d/postgresql start " or service postgresql start" I see the following error message in my PGLOG (ie /var/log/pgsql/pgstartup.log)
postmaster cannot access the server configuration file "/qmsvol/pg_8.1.9/data/postgresql.conf": Permission denied
ls -ld /qmsvol /qmsvol/pg_8.1.9 /qmsvol/pg_8.1.9/data /qmsvol/pg_8.1.9/data/postgresql.conf
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 Nov 26 10:39 /qmsvol

-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 13699 Nov 26 11:25 /qmsvol/pg_8.1.9/data/postgresql.conf
Any ideas ?
Thanks
