While going through
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Detailed_installation_guides
and typing
service postgresql start
as root I got
"/var/lib/pgsql/data is missing. Use "service postgresql initdb" to
initialize the cluster first."
When I run
service postgresql initdb
I get
"se: [FAILED]".
However, /var/lib/pqsql/data is created and user postgres owns it.
But then I run
service postgresql start
and the very same error occurs..
Is /var/lib/pgsql/data a sym link to some other drive?
No, it didn't.
It's likely
you're being bitten by SELinux. either disable it (google is your
friend) or reconfigure it to allow postgres to access the other drive
as a service.
I going to learn more about SELinux later after I learn more Linux
basics and get them in common for me.
Thank you anyway
