[postgis-users] [off-topic] How to init postgres databases onwindows F: drive

[Paragon Corporation]

Steve,

Actually that setting I believe was an option (I think the second step on
the enterprise db installer).

There are 3 ways that come to mind

1) Way one I haven't tried but should work
a) Stop the postgresql service
B)  Copy the data folder you already initialized to the F drive nd set
permissions to allow postgres account full rights
C) change the postgresql.conf in the data folder
D) delete the service with a 
Sc delete "name of postgresql service here"

E) Reinstall the service with
 Using 
pg_ctl register -N ....

Basically what is described here
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiWinCompileInitdb  

Way 2) assuming you have no data.  You could just uninstall and reinstall.  

Way 3) Create a new cluster with initdb -- also in above link (this only if
you have no data)

onwindows F: drive

Hi all,

Sorry for a little bit off topic post, but I'm trying to setup a new
postgresql/postgis install on a Windows box and I need the data files to be
on the f: drive. I'm using postgres 8.3.7 and postgis 1.4

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Unfortunately out of the box it installed everything on the C: drive and I
do not remember seeing an option on where to be the data files?

Thanks,
   -Steve W
