And it sets PGDATA itself. Perhaps su postgres -c "initdb -D /home/mydata/pgsql/data" or something similar might work better. Or modifying the init script before using it, which would have the advantage that it might also start the server later using your new data directory. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
