PostgreSQL service cannot start on Manjaro?-CodePudding

I want to run postgresql in manjaro by the following command.

sudo systemctl start postgresql

And i got the following result.

Job for postgresql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.See "systemctl status postgresql.service" and "journalctl -xeu postgresql.service" for details.

The log was as follow.

Jul 29 17:22:43 mahyar-pc postgres[2078]: "/var/lib/postgres/data" is missing or empty. Use a command like
Jul 29 17:22:43 mahyar-pc postgres[2078]:   su - postgres -c "initdb --locale en_US.UTF-8 -D '/var/lib/postgr>
Jul 29 17:22:43 mahyar-pc postgres[2078]: with relevant options, to initialize the database cluster.
Jul 29 17:22:43 mahyar-pc systemd[1]: postgresql.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILU>

Is there any way to solve it?

CodePudding user response：

I think you need to initialize PostgreSQL’s data directory.

From line 2 of the log, you can initialize with su - postgres -c "initdb --locale en_US.UTF-8 -D '/var/lib/postgres/data'"
