Dieter This is a completely new server install of Red Hat 8. I have tried to use the commands that I remembered from 7.3 but they are not working.
bash-2.05b$ postmaster -Di /var/lib/pgsql/data/ postmaster: invalid argument -- /var/lib/pgsql/data/ Try 'postmaster --help' for more information. I am assuming that before I try your advise I need to follow the "Prepare your SQL Server" which creates a user, and "Setup a Database and the Tables" which does just that. But I need to start the server first and I do not know where the server is? Maybe someone could explain to me why the PostgreSQL documentation assumes you know where the server is? Can you help?
