Cpanel is one of those things that consultants dread. It is a hosting
panel that gives a nice web administrative interface to a bunch of stuff
like email, vhosting etc..
THe problem is, it is also badly designed from a PostgreSQL
infrastructure perspective and typically ships with older versions of
PostgreSQL and further it sort of jails its install so upgrading
PostgreSQL becomes a bear.
IMO, if you want to use a PostgreSQL ignore Cpanel and use PostgreSQL.
Use Cpanel for all its pretty features but stay away from it for your
PostgreSQL requirements.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
