Hi all,
I am a freshman of PostgreSQL, My env: PG 8.4 on CentOS,I follow the
document in the offical site to startup the db server. Here's what I do
below, the database cluster is ready, but I can't start the database server.
[root@testbox ~]# service postgresql initdb
Data directory is not empty! [FAILED]
Well this means there already something in the data directory, most
likely the result of a previous initdb.
Is that indeed the case?
[root@testbox ~]# service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service: [FAILED]
-bash-4.1$ postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
-bash-4.1$ ps -ef |grep postgres

postgres 2769 2711 0 21:59 pts/1 00:00:00 grep postgres
I wonder why I can't start the database? Do I have some place to see the
log file. Hope anybody can help me. Thanks.
I do not use CentOS/RH so I am of limited use here. For some pointers see:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_on_RedHat_Linux
From there the log would seem to be in /var/lib/pgsql
