PostgreSql Service different path
Hi,
I install postgresql14.5 with the following commands
sudo yum install postgresql14-server postgresql14-contrib
sudo su postgres
cd /tmp
/usr/pgsql-14/bin/initdb -D /home/dmartuser/pgsql/14/data
and update the postgresql.conf to the new path, now when I start the
service, it has an error and when I check it says
-- Unit postgresql-14.service has begun starting up.
Oct 24 15:16:45 datamartds postgresql-14-check-db-dir[132338]:
*"/var/lib/pgsql/14/data/"
is missing or empty.*
Oct 24 15:16:45 datamartds postgresql-14-check-db-dir[132338]: Use
"/usr/pgsql-14/bin/postgresql-14-setup initdb" to initialize the database
cluster.
Oct 24 15:16:45 datamartds postgresql-14-check-db-dir[132338]: See
/usr/share/doc/postgresql14/README.rpm-dist for more information.
Oct 24 15:16:45 datamartds systemd[1]: postgresql-14.service: Control
process exited, code=exited status=1
Oct 24 15:16:45 datamartds systemd[1]: postgresql-14.service: Failed with
result 'exit-code'.
How can I point the service to read the new path (
/home/dmartuser/pgsql/14/data )?
Thanks,

The startup script that is calling systemd should perform a `mkdir -p
/var/lib/pgsql/14/data` before calling the PostgreSQL binary.

But I'm using a different path when I initdb /usr/pgsql-14/bin/initdb
-D */home/dmartuser/pgsql/14/data
*so "/var/lib/pgsql/14/data/" is really empty. Is there a way to point the
startup script to the new path */home/dmartuser/pgsql/14/data* ?

Check the systemd configuration file for this service.

I fixed it by editing the postgresql-14.service PGDATA path to the new
directory
Thanks,
