    Again,

      
      pg_ctl: could not open PID file
      "/media/extension/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/postmaster.pid":
      Permission denied

      
      Tried all the different ownership possible. 

      
    Thanks,

           Scott,

              
              I get this error.

              
              server starting

              krishnam@nipa-umh:/media/extension/var/lib$ postgres:
              invalid argument:
              "config_file=/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf"

              
              tried with both -o and -c arguments.

            
          My mistake, I screwed up!

          
          /usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_ctl start -D
          /media/extension/var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/ -o "-c
          config_file="/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf"

          
           (-c inside the quotes)

          
          --Scott

          
              Thanks,
