Description Dennis Ryan 2011-03-27 03:49:08 UTC 
DATA_DIR is not set in init.d script therefore postgresql will not start. Is DATA_DIR a redundant variable? PGDATA var contains the same information.

localhost # /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.0 start
 * Caching service dependencies ...                                                                                                                             [ ok ]
 * Starting PostgreSQL ...

No, it isn't a redundant variable, though PGDATA and DATA_DIR may be set to the same location. 9.0.3-r3 includes a check for an empty DATA_DIR.
