You can usually see the running server with something like this: ~]# ps auxw | grep postgres | grep -D If you install from source, the default is /usr/local/pgsql/data:īesides, an instance of a running PostgreSQL server is associated to one cluster the location of its data directory can be passed to the server daemon (" postmaster" or " postgres") in the -D command line option, or by the PGDATA environment variable (usually in the scope of the running user, typically postgres). The location of the data directory depends on the distribution. The " directory where postgresql will keep all databases" (and configuration) is called "data directory" and corresponds to what PostgreSQL calls (a little confusingly) a " database cluster", which is not related to distributed computing, it just means a group of databases and related objects managed by a PostgreSQL server.
