I'm trying to get Postgres up and running on my Mandrake 7, and am having a
hell of a time with the postmater command. According to the documentation
it should be as simple as typing:
postmaster -i
I've even gone as far as defining my data directory (although the PGDATA
environmental variable is defined) with:
postmaster -i -D /home/PostgresData
However, when I run it, the prompt never returns.... could somebody
enlighten me as to what I may be missing? I've followed most of the
directions (I skipped the ones about compiling the source code and
installing it because I installed it according to the defaults the RPMs
used...)
thanx
