It did create the data directory as well pg_log directory. I ran the initdb
again with -d option, but it still printed the same line in the startup
log, nothing more.
$SU -l postgres -c "$PGENGINE/initdb --pgdata='$PGDATA' --auth='ident'
$LOCALESTRING -d" >> "$PGLOG" 2>&1 < /dev/null
I then ran the pg_ctl command as follows
su - postgres
cd /usr/pgsql-9.2/bin
./pg_ctl initdb -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -o '--auth="ident"
--locale=en_US.UTF-8 -d'
This command did print a lot of debug messages on CLI -

Success. You can now start the database server using:
/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data
or
/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin/pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/data -l logfile start
And also seemed to be successful. But when I quit the postgres shell, tried
to restart the service as root user, it has failed with the following
message on CLI -
Stopping postgresql service: [ OK ]
Starting postgresql service: [FAILED]
pgstartup log has the same line -
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Where is this core dump file generated? How do we proceed further from here?
Thanks
