And for whatever reason, after having worked this morning, it doesn't work anymore after I restarted the computer in the middle of the day. I can't believe it.
When I type in:
sudo -u _postgres /usr/local/pgsql-9.1/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql-9.1/data
it spits out:
LOG: 00000: could not identify current directory: Permission denied
LOCATION: find_my_exec, exec.c:126
FATAL: XX000: /usr/local/pgsql-9.1/bin/postgres: could not locate my own executable path
LOCATION: getInstallationPaths, postmaster.c:1138
I looked around, but couldn't find a plausible explanation for this.
