[postgis-users] TIGER geocoder

[Andre Mano]

Thank you for your report.

I followed your suggestions but I run into one more question.
The readme file that documents the geocoder tool says it's necessary to
"Create a folder called gisdata on root of server or your local pc".

What is considered to be the root of the server? The directory where
Postgres is installed?

Thank you for your support,

Andre
