I am using OpenGeo Suite and I would like to move the PostgreSQL databases files to a different drive than my operating system. The default location installed by OpenGeo Suite is in the “C:ProgramData” directory, but I would like for it to be “F:db”.
Some websites suggest that the data directory location can be changed by adding -D “F:db” to the ImagePath value of the PostgreSQL service key in the registry. However, for me this did not change where PostgreSQL is looking, and I have restarted the service several times. Since OpenGeo customized the service and registry key names, I am afraid that they may have also customized the PostgreSQL service itself to prevent the changing of the data directory.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
