Обсуждение: Installing Postgres 8.1.4 on Linux RedHat

The links work for me (downloading from australia 2.)

Are you using a proxy server?  I do at times from work, and the PG
mirrors don't seem to like proxies - or my proxy doesn't like the PG
mirrors which is probably closer to the point :P  (the proxy server
always reports an error contacting the remote site.)

If you are, and can get direct connections to the Net without a proxy,
add an exception for ftp://*.postgresql.org.

By the way the sources don't take too long to build, and I generally
prefer it for the aspect of getting more control over the build, such as
location (or for linking to non-standard libraries such as OpenSSL
(which is in a non-standard directory on my machine).)

Amit,

Installation is quite simple and straight forward. Since you will be
installing binary on redhat, you will need to work with Redhat Package
Manager (RPM).

Just issue the command as a root user:

rpm -i <file with .rpm extension>

This will install the specific postgresql package which you have downloaded.
To start with, you need the files postgresql-8.1.4-3PGDG.i686.rpm and
postgresql-server-8.1.4-3PGDG.i686.rpm.

You can download and install the rest of the packages like lib and
devel as per your requirements.

Amit,

I can replicate the problem.
Check if you have any plugins installed for your browser like real player etc.

Maybe a firewall issue? I had no problems downloading them now.

Maybe you'd want to login a local FTP mirror directly so that you can
diagnose the problem better.

Thanks All.  There was an issue with my browser :(.  What a waste of
time for everyone.

I was able to download the rpms and install them successfully.

Thanks again for all your help.

, because when I go to any of the mirror sites, it just doesn't
work....and all I see is some unfinished html page.
