I just recreate the databases by hand and populated them with backup data. I see. That's a shame. Usually, the HOME directory of the postgres user is set to /var/lib/postgresql. If you just do su postgres you'll remain in the directory from which you ran the command. What you *must* do is run: $ su - postgres Notice the '-'? This makes the su to the user a *login*, so that you'll be in the HOME directory of the postgres user. Try it yourself. Do an 'ls' after su postgres and then do an 'ls' after su - postgres See man su for more information. -- Regards, Gregory.
