I have just installed the latest postgreSQL from unstable. The info file says:
"You can start the PostgreSQL server manually using 'postmaster' as pgsql (since pgsql has a shell of /dev/null by default, you must run it as sudo -u pgsql postmaster) or you can run 'daemonic enable postgresql' as root to create a StartupItem for it" However when I try that, I get: mat% sudo daemonic enable postgresql No matching service found for "postgresql", skipping. mat% sudo -u pgsql postmaster postmaster does not know where to find the database system data. You must specify the directory that contains the database system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment variable. So then I try: mat% sudo -u pgsql postmaster -D /Volumes/Files/sw/bin FATAL 1: data directory /Volumes/Files/sw/bin has group or world access; permissions should be u=rwx (0700) Now I'm a little leery of changing permissions on that directory as everything else seems to be working fine with it the way it is. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, does anybody have my clue?
