postgresql 9.2 don't run

[urgido]

Hi guys
I tried to run postgresql 9.2 but I don't have luck

[[email protected] lib]# service postgresql-9.2 initdb
Initializing database: mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_log': File exists
                                                           [FAILED]

I am on CentOS release 6.5 (Final) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any clue?
Thank you!!!

Hello

What method did you use to install PostgreSQL?

Thank you.

Hi Michel,
This one: Shifted Bytes: Install PostgreSQL 9.2 with cPanel/WHM on CentOS Linux

I see that only I have under /etc/init.d/ the executable postgresql-9.2

Thanks your your help.

If I try to reinstall I got this:

[[email protected] ~]# /scripts/installpostgres
This script will install PostgreSQL 7.4.x or later
If you have an older version installed you wil need to
Dump your databases to a file and then restore them
after the install as 7.4.x is not backwards compatible.
If you do not have any databases, you can just run:
mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old
/sbin/service postgresql stop
/sbin/service postgresql start
to force creating a 7.4.x style setup. Do not do this if
you have databases that you wish to keep!

Are you sure you wish to proceed? y

Now, this is what i got

[[email protected] data]# /scripts/restartsrv postgresql
waiting for postgresql to restart...............initdb: No data directory specified
you must identify the directory where the data for this database system
will reside. Do this with either the invocation option -d or the
environment variable pgdata.
Finished.

Postgresql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "postgres database is not initialized...initializing it...done, postmaster is not running").

The cPanel installer that's supported is going to install an earlier version of PostgreSQL. Is that what you want? If so, please ensure you undo the custom changes you made when attempting to install the newer version before proceeding.

Thank you.
