Postgrsql Problem configuring 9.10

yaboariel · 04-21-2012, 12:09 AM

Please someone can help me: I get this error when trying to run the database:

root@host:~# sudo su postgres -c "/usr/lib/postgresql/9.1/bin/postgres"
sudo: unable to resolve host host
postgres does not know where to find the server configuration file.
You must specify the --config-file or -D invocation option or set the PGDATA environment variable.

That command looks quite wrong. Where exactly did you read that ?
How did you install postgres ? Did your install not come with an init.d start script ?
Cheers, Tom.
