Dear Sir,
initdb: The directory /usr/local/pgsql/data exists but is not empty.
If you want to create a new database system, either remove or empty the
directory /usr/local/pgsql/data or run initdb with an argument other than
/usr/local/pgsql/data.
This is the response that I see when I typed in initdb -D
/usr/local/pgsql/data to initialize the database. I can?t figure out what
is wrong?
Can u please help me....
thanks in advance
regards,
Savita Banginwar

What happens when you follow the above suggestions? That is, does the
following work?
1. $ rm -fr /usr/local/pgsql/data
$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data
2. $ initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data
