I have problem using initlocation on my debian-server

I have a debian server and a postgresql 7.4 on it. When I try to set up a new
alternative location on it, I got some problem first

I do not know if I have made right when added the variables

PGDATA2=/images-data
in the file /etc/init.d/postgresql
export PGDATA2

(also tryed setting the variables in /etc/postgresql/postgresql.env)

And after that I have tryed to run initlocation PGDATA2 i get the error
Command not found.

It's probably not in your path:

/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initlocation

TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Ok, if it's not in my path /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initlocation how do I do
then
to use initlocation?
Must it bee in that path?

(what exactly do initlocation?) sets some parameter in some set-up files?

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

Ok I now I understand what you say, I have set /usr/lib/postgresql/bin to my
path but it does not help? some other suggestion.

I assume that I have done error in seting the data PGDATA2=/database_image or
some thing ?

or have I done some other thing error when i try to say
initlocation PGDATA2

Even if I stands in .../bin/ it wount work.

TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

For an explanation of the purpose and behavior of initlocation, look
here:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/s...tlocation.html

You can call it with an explicit path (e.g.,
/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initlocation), or you can add it to your path.
