Andrei, I don't know if you found the answer to this or not. I had the same problem and here is what I did to fix it. 1. Hopefully, you did a pg_dumpall on your old database(s) 2. You need to delete your data directory 3. cd /usr/bin 4. su postgres 5. Do an ./initdb on your data directory using the -D option 6. exit 7. rcpostgresql - Voila 8. reload your data either using pg_restore (if you put it out in the right format, which of course I didn't) or psql -U postgres template1 < dump.file.

Calling rcpostgresql or /etc/init.d/postgresql scripts return nothing for start, stop, restart, etc. Like nothing happen. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ************************************************ *** with best regards *** Andrei Verovski (aka MacGuru) *** Mac, Linux, DTP, Programming Web Site *** *** http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac/ ************************************************ -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
