Re: Changing/Specifying Data Dir to postmaster Service

Hello,

You need to do an initdb and specify the directory you want to install /
start it in.  Of course you will have to backup your data first and then
restore the dump(s) after the initdb.

Then you must also remove the postmaster service and re-install using
the new path etc.

HTH.
