[solved]Possible clarification needed in wiki for postgresql

The wiki has a section with this content:

Configure the PGROOT

Edit the /etc/conf.d/postgresql (if you don't know what value to put just uncomment the line)

The problem is that there is (apparently) not a line that can be uncommented. I am on postgresql 9.1.4

I am just getting my feet wet w/postgresql so I am not sure about this, but wanted to bring it up in case the wiki should be updated.

Thanks
Steve.

Re: [solved]Possible clarification needed in wiki for postgresql

You must have already editted the file, or something went wrong during the install.  I just installed it and have this in that file

##
## Parameters to be passed to postgresql
##
## Default data directory location
#PGROOT="/var/lib/postgres"
## Passed to initdb if necessary
INITOPTS="--locale en_US.UTF-8"
## Default log file location
#PGLOG="/var/log/postgresql.log"
## Additional options to pass via pg_ctl's '-o' option
#PGOPTS=""

Re: [solved]Possible clarification needed in wiki for postgresql

Trilby, you are right.

I accidentally edited /etc/rc.d/postgresql
not
/etc/conf.d/postgresql

Thanks and sorry for the false alarm.
Steve.
