No not directory where Postgres is installed. On Windows something like C:\gisdata or E:\gisdata On Linux /gisdata Technically you can create the folder anywhere as long as you change the path in the generated script (or prechange it in the tiger.loader_variables.staging_fold field before you generate the script) to where you want the files put. Note that if you put the folder on your local pc and your PostgreSQL server is on another machine, you'll need to have shp2pgsql and psql executables etc accessible from your local pc. It's generally more efficient to just run from the machine you have PostgreSQL installed because of network / bandwidth. Hope that helps, Regina http://www.postgis.us http://postgis.net

I followed your suggestions but I run into one more question. The readme file that documents the geocoder tool says it's necessary to "Create a folder called gisdata on root of server or your local pc". What is considered to be the root of the server? The directory where Postgres is installed?

This is what I have done so far: # Enable geocoding capabilities CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch; CREATE EXTENSION postgis_tiger_geocoder; # Test Geocoding capabilities SELECT na.address, na.streetname,na.streettypeabbrev, na.zip FROM normalize_address('1 Devonshire Place, Boston, MA 02109') AS na; (Returns, as expected: 1;"Devonshire";"Pl";"02109") But now I don't know exactly what I have to do. I have read the documentation, but still I am not very secure of what I should do. Does anyone here with experience with the TIGER geocoder can give me a hint? (PostgresSQL 9.3, PostGIS 2.1, Win7 Enterprise 64bits) Thank you, Andre -- ..................................
