Postgresql.conf
 
tech@nimrod3:~$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres start
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/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.

Let's say that the configuration file, postgresql.conf is sitting at /usr/local/pgsql/data . How do I 'tell' it to postgres? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

How about reading the message that you get when you start it? It says something about --config-file.
Further I'm quite sure that the man pages will explain something as well.
