Hi there, I want to create my database not under /etc/.... but under or within my Mac-user level, that is /Users/schwarzer/.... Now, it seems somewhat complicated - at least for me -, due to the different read-write permissions, to do that. It worked before, but now, after re-installing the machine, I really don't get it going... The commands would be like this: /usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /Users/schwarzer/Documents/data_postgres /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /Users/schwarzer/Documents/data_postgres >logfile 2>&1 & But, what about the user "schwarzer" and the user "postgres"? How should it correctly be installed/configured? Thanks for any advice, Stef |
