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.
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
is anything OK in F10 regarding PostgreSQL installation ?
yes
if i download the bin file from
www.postgresql.org page,
installation
works perfectly,
bad idea
