#28877: postgresql post-install instructions are unreliable
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: weior@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: | Port: postgresql91
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
During install, this is displayed:
{{{
To create a database instance, after install do
sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql91/defaultdb
sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql91/defaultdb
sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin/initdb -D
/opt/local/var/db/postgresql91/defaultdb'
}}}
However, the last command with `su` is sensitive to current directory, and
usually it will fail with confusing message:
{{{
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
parent directories: Permission denied
}}}
I suggest adding `cd` to these instructions.
