<Para>
Alternate database locations are created and referenced by an environment variable
which gives the absolute path to the intended storage location.
- This environment variable must have been defined before the backend was started
+ This environment variable must have been defined before the postmaster was started
and the location it points to must be writable by the postgres administrator account.
Consult with the site administrator
regarding preconfigured alternate database locations.
