[pyarc...@gmail.com]

Hi to all,
my mac book pro died and I recover my pg folder from the old HD.

Now under Imac I've tried to recover data replacing my data folder under mac os x and potgres 8.4 but unfortunatly i recive this message on console


(com.edb.launchd.postgresql-8.4[950]) Exited with exit code: 1 18/07/12 13.08.21 com.apple.launchd[1]

How can I set in the right way my PostgreSQL/8.4 folder and the data folder?

as root:

chown -R postgres /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/data

assuming "postgres" is the right user.
