Dear Peter, thank you, the manual has an error: in the initlocation command,
the $ must be deleted; but there is still a problem with createdb:
$ initlocation PGDATA2
We are initializing the database area with username postgres (uid=40).
This user will own all the files and must also own the server process.
Creating Postgres database system directory PGDATA2
Creating Postgres database system directory PGDATA2/base
$ createdb -D PGDATA2 ucc2
ERROR: Unable to locate path 'PGDATA2/ucc2'
This may be due to a missing environment variable in the server
createdb: database creation failed on ucc2.
