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:

[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.

.. seealso:: | PostgreSQL Database File Layout documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/storage-file-layout.html> | PostgreSQL Client Authentication <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/client-authentication.html> | PostgreSQL Server Configuration <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config.html>_
