UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
If upgrading from a non-compatible version (ie 8.0.x >> 8.1.x or
|
|
8.x.y >> 9.a.b) be sure to dump the databases before upgrading and
|
|
restore them later.
|
|
|
|
Example: (for your convenience, there could be better ways to
|
|
achieve this)
|
|
|
|
# pg_dumpall -U postgres > pg.dump
|
|
# /etc/rc.d/postgresql stop
|
|
|
|
# mv /var/pgsql/data /var/pgsql/data-backup
|
|
# mkdir /var/pgsql/data
|
|
# chown postgres /var/pgsql/data
|
|
|
|
# sudo -u postgres initdb -D /var/pgsql/data
|
|
|
|
# /etc/rc.d/postgresql start
|
|
# psql -U postgres -f pg.dump postgres
|
|
|
|
Do not forget to update / copy old config files to /var/pgsql/data
|
|
|
|
|
|
NEW INSTALL
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
To complete the installation and create a test database you need to do

|
|
|
|
# useradd -m -d /home/postgres -s /bin/false postgres
|
|
# passwd -l postgres
|
|
|
|
# mkdir -p /var/pgsql/data
|
|
# touch /var/log/postgresql
|
|
# chown postgres /var/pgsql/data /var/log/postgresql
|
|
|
|
# sudo -u postgres initdb -D /var/pgsql/data
|
|
|
|
# /etc/rc.d/postgresql start
|
|
# sudo -u postgres createdb test
|
|
# psql -U postgres test
|
|
|
|
Edit /etc/cron/weekly/syslog as root and add
|
|
a line "/usr/sbin/rotatelog postgresql"
