Hello all,

I'm moving from RedHat 9 to the new Fedora and I was trying to configure Postgres's settings when I realized that there is no postgres.conf file. I looked in the usual place (/var/lib/pgsql/data) but that folder is empty. I know for a fact that Postgres was installed because I had Fedora install absolutely everything. I searched for the file and found one with the same name in /etc/raddb but it doesn't look like the same thing when I opened it up. Does anyone know what's happening or where I can find the right conf file? I'm just looking to set the port and tcpip socket.

Thanks,
Jisoo22
 
i haven't seen fedora, but usualy on a fresh install you have to run
initdb -D /path/to/where/the/data/will/be
 
Thanks, I'll try this out and get back to you!
