- snip -
A further question;
I can change the owner of postgresql in following ways;
1) # chown satimis satimis /var/lib/pgsql/
OR 2) sudo su - postgres initdb -E UTF8
$ createuser -s -U postgres $ Enter name of role to add: {{ satimis }}
Would there is any difference?
If there is. After having finished the current test I can start a new test on another hard drive.
Besides: on http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_PostgreSQL_DB Connecting to the database
Run /etc/init.d/postgresql restart (it didn't work)
to be replaced with: service postgresql restart _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
i may have missed this, but why are you trying to change the owner of postgres?
On my previous posting I was stuck there.
I was stuck here;
# su - postgres -c 'pg_ctl initdb' The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale en_US.UTF-8. The default database encoding has accordingly been set to UTF8. The default text search configuration will be set to "english".
initdb: directory "/var/lib/pgsql/data" exists but is not empty If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty the directory "/var/lib/pgsql/data" or run initdb with an argument other than "/var/lib/pgsql/data". pg_ctl: database system initialization failed
pgsql was owned by postgres not by user nor root
just thinking - assuming that's the default, we should be able to work with it, or have changing it as part of our build notes.
