I just checked via psql where is current data directory stored. Default path = /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main . As a root i will create new directory,/PGDATA and assign ownership into postgres user:
root@deb74:/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main# mkdir -p /PGDATA
root@deb74:/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main# chown -R postgres:postgres /PGDATA
root@deb74:/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main# service postgresql stop
[ ok ] Stopping Postgresql 9.3 database server: main.
Last step = pure paranoia level and untrustful „restart“ service parameter :-)
As postgres user I will re-initialize database:
postgres@deb74:/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin$ /usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/initdb -D /PGDATA
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user „postgres“.
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale „en_US.UTF-8“.
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to „UTF8“.
The default text search configuration will be set to „english“.
Data page checksums are disabled.

WARNING: enabling „trust“ authentication for local connections
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the option -A,or
–auth-local and –auth-host,the next time you run initdb.
Success. You can now start the database server using:
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/postgres -D /PGDATA
or
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.3/bin/pg_ctl -D /PGDATA -l logfile start
Change in configuration must be written into main postgresql conf file:
postgres@deb74:~$ cd /etc/postgresql/9.3/main/
postgres@deb74:/etc/postgresql/9.3/main$ nano postgresql.conf
There you have to change data_directory into '/PGDATA',save file.
Now I need just to start postgresql service and double-check if everything is changed well:
root@deb74:~# service postgresql start
[ ok ] Starting Postgresql 9.3 database server: main.
root@deb74:~# su postgres
postgres@deb74:/root$ psql
could not change directory to „/root“: Permission denied
psql (9.3.2)
Type „help“ for help.
postgres=# show data_directory;
