Hi all,
I try to start PostgreSQL, but it doesn't work. I installed it
successfully and now I try to launch the server. This is what I did:
1. Set the path
$ set path = ( /usr/local/pgsql/bin $path )
2. Create the cluster
$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
3. Start the database server
$ postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
It's in the last part when I try to start the database server that I
get this error message:
FATAL: no such group 'pgsql'
postmaster: cannot create UNIX stream port
I don't understand why? For doing all these steps I was logged as
postgres admin. I installed PostgreSQL 7.2.2 on Mac OSX 10.2.
Can someone help me to understand what was my mistake?
Thanks a lot
Javier
