I had to move my database to a new disk. I dropped the original after a pg_dump and then removed the old directory. I then ran initdb on the new location, created the database and restored from the pg_dump. My problem now is that I have to supply the full pathnames to start or stop the server. Otherwise it still wants to access the old location which no longer exists. What am I missing to make the new (and only existing) location be the Postgres default?
You didn't tell us what platform you're using. What does your startup script have for PGDATA?
