postgresql post-install instructions are unreliable

Description
During install, this is displayed:
To create a database instance, after install do sudo mkdir -p /opt/local/var/db/postgresql91/defaultdb sudo chown postgres:postgres /opt/local/var/db/postgresql91/defaultdb sudo su postgres -c '/opt/local/lib/postgresql91/bin/initdb -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql91/defaultdb'
However, the last command with su
is sensitive to current directory, and usually it will fail with confusing message:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
I suggest adding cd
to these instructions.

Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Switching them over to use notes instead of ui_msg would also be a good change...
