Hello,
It looks like you need to initdb. If you have PGDATA in the
enviroment then all you need do is initd. If you need to specify the data
directory then use -D
(eg: initdb -D /var/pgsql/data ).
You then need to start the ipc-daemon with ipc-daemon & and then the
postmaster with something like postmaster -i &
Hope this helps,
- Stuart
