Issue with Centos 5, Postgres 8.3 (RHEL5 build), timezones
Greetings! I am really excited about trying 8.3 for the speedups,
autovacuum, and UUID support.
I am currently testing Postgresql 8.3 on Centos 5. When I try to run
service postgresql initdb, I get the following error:
WARNING: could not read time zone file "Default": Permission denied
FATAL: invalid value for parameter "timezone_abbreviation": "Default"
Which file is it trying to read and how can I fix this?
Thanks,

$sharedir/timezonesets/Default --- if you're not sure where $sharedir
is, "pg_config --sharedir" will tell you.
I'd venture it's either a directory ownership/permissions problem or
an obsolete selinux policy ...
