I installed postgresql 8.1with it's source code package, I think the whole installation process is OK ! but there is no such a postmaster.conf file. Following Mr.Ding's proposal, I set up the postmaster.conf manually, but when I went to the next step according to the Quickstart:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# */etc/init.d/postgresql restart It shows that there is no such command. I don't know why it is 'root' that do the job. I try to use the command "pg_ctrl" to restart postgresql under the account 'postgre', and "**createuser -P globus',**but when I switch to 'globus', I can't** "createdb rftDatabase". Is there anything wrong about the processing, what should I do ? Thank you very much!! ** * 2007/6/7, Charles Bacon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
How did you install postgres? Most linux distributions have package management tools that can help you find what files a package installed. rpm or dpkg both have options to let you list the files contained in a postgres package. Failing that, you could try using locate, or run find on /etc and /var to try to find it.
