Hello people, I just installed PostgreSQL on my Mac. I used the package available here: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ Here is a screendump of initdb... $ $ $ $ $ /usr/local/bin/initdb -E UTF8 -D /usr/local/pgsql/data The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "maco". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. creating directory /usr/local/pgsql/data ... ok creating subdirectories ... ok selecting default max_connections ... 30 selecting default shared_buffers/max_fsm_pages ... 2400kB/20000 creating configuration files ... ok creating template1 database in /usr/local/pgsql/data/base/1 ... ok initializing pg_authid ... ok initializing dependencies ... ok creating system views ... ok loading system objects' descriptions ... ok creating conversions ... ok setting privileges on built-in objects ... ok creating information schema ... ok vacuuming database template1 ... ok copying template1 to template0 ... ok copying template1 to postgres ... ok WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the next time you run initdb. Success. You can now start the database server using: /usr/local/bin/postgres -D /usr/local/pgsql/data or /usr/local/bin/pg_ctl -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -l logfile start $ $ $ I started the server: $ $ $ $ pg_ctl start server starting acct1-smiths-powerbook-g4-17 maco ~ (14:44:22 ) 1 $ LOG: database system was shut down at 2007-07-01 14:24:19 PDT LOG: checkpoint record is at 0/42BEB8 LOG: redo record is at 0/42BEB8; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE LOG: next transaction ID: 0/593; next OID: 10820 LOG: next MultiXactId: 1; next MultiXactOffset: 0 LOG: database system is ready $ $ $ $ $ psorg post maco 1905 0.0 0.2 43852 1924 pa S 2:44PM 0:00.72 /usr/local/bin/ postgres maco 1910 0.0 0.0 43772 524 ??
