Hi all, new to pgsql yadda yadda
I have a default RedHat install and run into the following problem
When trying to connect to postgres I get the following message..
[kevin(at)anthem kevin]$ postgres
postgres does not know where to find the database system data. You must specify the directory that contains the database system either by specifying the -D invocation option or by setting the PGDATA environment variable.
ok, so I su to the user postgres and try...
bash-2.05b$ postgres -D /var/lib/pgsql/data/
Lock file "/var/lib/pgsql/data//postmaster.pid" already exists.
Is another postmaster (pid 16943) running in "/var/lib/pgsql/data/"?
What seems to be the problem here?
Kind regards
Kevin
