psql: FATAL: could not write init file
- by Leonardo M. Ramé
as the title points out, I'm getting this error when trying to connect to a PostgreSql database from command line, using PostgreSQL.
The client machine is an Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 and the PostgreSQL libraries are from Version 9.1
Server is PostgreSql 8.3.
This is the command that I executed:
psql -U postgres -d my_database -h 192.168.0.161 -p 5432 -c "select * from xxyy"
I get the same results when I use sudo or su postgres.
The sad thing is that I can connect without problems using pgAdmin.
Any hint?
