Hi There, I created a cluster with initdb into a custom directory /pgdata/bases, and ser PGDATA environment to that value. I can start/stop postmaster from command prompt. Despite this, when I issue ./postgresql-8.1 start, cluster main is started up instead. Hence I modified init-d.functions line for c in /etc/postgresql/"$2"/*; do to for c in /pgdata/bases/*; do Now when I issue a startup I get the following error. Starting PostgreSQL 8.1 database server: PERSONAL* Error: specified cluster does not exist failed! Any clues? regards, jm
