The default postgresql data directory is /var/lib/pgsql/data. The GUI
installer will avoid overwriting any previous data that exists in that
directory. If you're upgrading from a previous version of postgresql,
you should first backup your data and make sure the directory
/var/lib/pgsql/data doesn't exist before trying to run the GUI installer
again. I believe there are online documentations about how to backup
your postgresql data properly.
