Hi,
using the GUI version of add/remove software from F10 under Gnome i tried to install postgresql 8.3.5. i can see the client and server package are checked in this GUI version, but i do not find any folder where it is installed. basically the postgresql.conf file is located somewhere after installation...but in my case is nowhere :-( what's wrong ? is anything OK in F10 regarding PostgreSQL installation ?
if i download the bin file from www.postgresql.org page, installation works perfectly, so what's wrong with GUI add/remove software ? thx.

Open a terminal window and execute:
rpm --qa | grep postgres
you will get a list of postgresql packages
basically the postgresql.conf file is located somewhere after installation...but in my case is nowhere :-(
With root permission please execute:
service postgresql start
During the first startup all necessary files are created (in /var/lib/pgsql/data).
You may then check the configuration and modify it according to your needs.
Execute a service postgresql restart after any modification.
Dont't forget a "chkconfig postgresql on" (or use the gui in system -A administration -> services) if you wish to start postgresql automatically at boot.
what's wrong ?
nothing at all

yes
if i download the bin file from www.postgresql.org page, installation works perfectly,
bad idea

Postgres data is kept in /var/lib/pgsql . A way to check where a package installs stuff is to use rpm -ql package-name .
