I am trying to create a tablespace logged in as postgres. I just installed postgresql 8.2.5 on a Redhat linux server. I am receiving the following error. ERROR: could not set permissions on directory "/data/pgsql/pgdata": Permission denied The SQL command I am using is as follows. CREATE TABLESPACE order_history OWNER postgres LOCATION '/data/pgsql/pgdata'; The following are the details of my system. From what I can see, everything is set up as per the documentation I have read. -bash-3.00$ ps -ef | grep postmaster postgres 17636 1 0 11:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/postmaster -p 5432 -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -bash-3.00$ ls -ltr /data/pgsql total 16 drwx------ 2 postgres postgres 4096 Dec 13 13:17 pgdata I can create a tablespace in the /var/lib/pgsql/data directory, but wanted a different tablespace in a directory where I have a lot of room to grow. I am new to postgresql so, any help would be greatly appreciated. Craig ________________________________ Craig Ferry Sr. Database Administrator WESCO Distribution, Inc.
