Обсуждение: [WAS] postmaster fatal error LC_TIME:fr when launching

Hello,
I found out that LC_TIME was defined in the postgresql.conf file in the data
directory (where the data base should be created).
I edited this file and put LC_TIME='C' (all the other LC_.. were also put to
'C') and relaunched postmaster.
I got the following answer :
[G4:~] postgres% /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
LOG:  database system was shut down at 2003-06-20 00:01:19 CEST
LOG:  checkpoint record is at 0/7FFC04
LOG:  redo record is at 0/7FFC04; undo record is at 0/0; shutdown TRUE
LOG:  next transaction id: 480; next oid: 16976
LOG:  database system is ready

I did not get any prompt. I invoked
createdb test

but got no answer, no prompt

I use PowerMac G4 with OSX.2.3

Thanks for your help.

Jean

You won't --- the postmaster doesn't issue prompts and is not expecting
to read anything from stdin.  It's supposed to run in the background.
The most primitive way to launch it is
    postmaster ... >somelogfile 2>&1 &
but most people use pg_ctl or a boot-time script to start it.
