Hi!

I've set my PGDATA variable in profile
export PGDATA=/home/mydata/pgsql/data

Testing variable for correct set in enviroment
$ echo $PGDATA
/home/mydata/pgsql/data

but when execute:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 initdb

or execute:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 initdb -D /home/mydata/pgsql/data

The cluster always is created on default path "/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/"

Will install in CentOS 5.7

Thx





I'm guessing /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.1 is a script that is ignoring your arguments: initdb, $PGDATA, and -D /path/.

I'd say dont use that script and go right for the origional initdb.
