Re: Running Postgresql

Hi, ( it's been a while from me, busy ... )

I have only and just my Shrike disks burned and a spare machine to play with,
not actually anything installed yet, so I'm not sure how things work with
9.0, be not too bold go on production with 2.6 ?, but rough guide lines here:

First, you will have to run initdb (as user postgres)

initdb -D /path/to/datadir/(owned by by postgres) -E (for encoding, perhaps
LATIN1 for umlauts to work and sort) -L
/default/onRH7.3/is/usr/local/pgsql/share/or/where/ever/postgres.bki/resides/

This will create your system / cluster.

Then, again as postgres, and by default,

/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /path/to/datadir/ -i(for port 5432 from
outside ?) -B (number of buffers) -N (number of connections allowed)

Hope this helps. Please swim for your smile through the docs ...

BR,

Aarni
