PostgreSQL configuration
1. PostgreSQL configuration files
By default, the PostgreSQL configuration files are stored in the /home/mfbase/var/pgsql directory.
You may change this location in the [postgresql] section of the/home/mfbase/config/config.ini file:
```cfg
[postgresql]
data_dir={{MFMODULE_RUNTIME_HOME}}/var/pgsql
```
.. caution::
When you run the :ref:mfbase.init<mfbase_manage:init> command, the PostgreSQL configuration is reset to the default configuration.
