Re: Trouble running PostgreSQL server / Server must be started under certain locale.

Andrej,

Thanks for the tips (should I post this in a different way?)

Anyway, I uninstalled and installed using the ubuntu package manager. I tried again this morning - removing 8.2 and then reinstalling 8.2 again... still won't start.

I'm sure I can work through this (I seem to remember having a starting issue before) but the data locale thing is a worry.

Cheers (from Christchurch)

 I am running postgres on Ubuntu 7.10 (recent convert from windows) and I
think my previous version of postgresql was 8.2   

 Last night I un installed 8.3 and reinstalled 8.2 but now I can't get that
to start.... so I'm not making much progress. The problem is I don't really
know what I am doing :)   

By which means did you do the installation/un-install of both versions?
What data-directory is/was which version using?


 

 I am learning slowly though.
