the /etc/init.d/postgresql* scripts are completely selfcontained and
don't use any external environment variables. you can put custom
settings in /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql-9.1 (where the last part of
the filename is the same as the /etc/init.d/ script name). the main
things you'd set in those scripts are...
PGENGINE=/usr/pgsql-${PGMAJORVERSION}/bin
PGPORT=5432
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/${PGMAJORVERSION}/data
PGLOG=/var/lib/pgsql/${PGMAJORVERSION}/pgstartup.log
However, if you're creating a cluster under your own home directory, I'm
not sure you even want it to be under the control of the system scripts.

And it sets PGDATA itself. Perhaps su postgres -c "initdb -D /home/mydata/pgsql/data" or something similar might work better. Or modifying the init script before using it, which would have the advantage that it might also start the server later using your new data directory. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
