Ensure you actually have a folder named "/var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data" with your database in it (not, possibly, a folder named "date" per your original message). as root: chown -R postgres:postgres /var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data restorecon -R /var/lib/pgsql/9.6/data If it still won't start after that, please do an "ls -alRZ /var/lib/pgsql/9.6", pastebin the output, and send the link. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
