Open a terminal window and execute: rpm --qa | grep postgres you will get a list of postgresql packages > basically the postgresql.conf file is located somewhere after > installation...but in my case is nowhere :-( With root permission please execute: service postgresql start During the first startup all necessary files are created (in /var/lib/pgsql/data). You may then check the configuration and modify it according to your needs. Execute a service postgresql restart after any modification. Dont't forget a "chkconfig postgresql on" (or use the gui in system -A administration -> services) if you wish to start postgresql automatically at boot. > what's wrong ? nothing at all > is anything OK in F10 regarding PostgreSQL installation ? yes > if i download the bin file from www.postgresql.org page, installation > works perfectly, bad idea Peter -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
