Обсуждение: RE: tourble migrating from linux/Apache/postgresql/perl to win200 0/IIS/postgresql/perl

Just a little more info for you:

When trying to build the latest postgresql-7.1.2 I get the following error:
bash-2.05$ make
make -C doc all

Subject: tourble migrating from linux/Apache/postgresql/perl to
win2000/IIS/postgresql/perl

Hello Jason,

We previously communicated on the following post about a week ago:
http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=121056

I am still running into setup/config issues with postgresql and perl
under IIS.  I hope this new thread will find answers from people that
have done something similar in the past.

Just to recap:
- cygwin/cygipc are setup properly.

- I have taken the postgresql7.0 prebuilt NT binaries from
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/ftpsite/binary/v7.0/NT.  (I could not get
the lastest source to compile on our IIS box because some include files
were not part of the tar I downloaded.  Perhaps there are external
dependencies (visual c++?) that were not incluced in the tar.  If
someone has been able to compile the latest source for win32, please
tell me where I can get it prebuilt.)

- the database has been restored from my old linux box over to the IIS
box and I can see data using psql.

- old perl scripts have been moved over and configured to run under IIS

- Fred Yankowski pointed me to www.php.net, however, I belive if I take
that route, the perl cgi's I'm trying to migrate over to win2000 will
need to be re-written using php.  I think it's probabaly best to avoid
re-writing code for this migration - any way to avoid this if I use php?



ISSUES:
- I am not able to load the perl module in my cgi scripts.  There are
many posts regarding this issue... See
http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=120905 for more
information.

I belive the problem is the prebuilt postgresql7.0 NT binary I
downloaded.  There should be a libpq.dll (win32) library in this package
but I only see a libpq.a (unix) library.  I don't think the Pg.pm module
can be loaded properly w/o this library - but as I noted above, I'm not
able to build it myself on my IIS box.

Another possibility is that my environment may not have the path to
right Pg.pm module.  I can see the Pg.pm module in my
d:\cygin\usr\src\postgresql-7.1.1\src\interfaces\perl5\Pg.pm - Is this
the right place for this module?  If I pring out my the @INC array - the
path seems to be in there.
--------
#here is a test cgi I am testing with
test.cgi:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# -*- perl -*-   to tell emacs that this is a perl script
# Include any additional modules
push (@INC,
"d:\\cygwin\\usr\\src\\postgresql-7.1.1\\src\\interfaces\\perl5");

#also trying forward slash...
#push (@INC,
"d:\/cygwin\/usr\/src\/postgresql-7.1.1\/src\/interfaces\/perl5");

use CGI;
$q = new CGI;
print $q->header;

# Enable access to the SQL database
#use Pg;

print "INC=" . "@INC\n";

## Close the current script
exit (0);

--------
#here is the output
INC=D:/Perl/lib D:/Perl/site/lib .
d:\cygwin\usr\src\postgresql-7.1.1\src\interfaces\perl5
--------

I also saw some references to building an ODBC driver for postgresql -
do I need ODBC if I'm using cgi's?  I though that is necessary for
clients that are going via TCP/IP to the db (?)...

Can you help?

I will continue trying to find a solution to this in the meantime.

Best Regards,

-rishi

It's obvious that it hasn't been created, as far as the script used to generate it failed. Maybe your cygwin
environmentisn't properly configured?

You should decide to use a single notation for cygwin paths in your scripts -- either the windowish way, addapted to
un*xports, e.g. c:/cygwin/usr/bin, or the un*x way, /usr/bin. In a hybrid environment as your IIS & postgresql/perl
lookslike, it's a good thing to initialize the PATH environment variable with a value to satisfy both the win32 and the
cygwinapps. A good test would be to try the printenv or test-cgi scripts from apache distribution, adapted to your IIS. 

A specific advice would be to put #!c:/cygwin/local/bin/perl instead #!/usr/local/bin/perl at the begining of your
scripts-- although your IIS knows to do a c:\cygwin\local\bin\perl.exe on the *.cgi files.  

Also if your scripts are in perl, you need the Pg.dll library, which builds OOTB for PostgreSQL'n'perl/cygwin.

[After the previous reply I've noticed your posts in pgsql-general]

To quote one of the answers there, Pg and DBD::Pg are completely different. You weren't very clear what interface your
scriptsuse. If you used DBI/DBD postgres interface for your scripts, you don't need any perl tweak to your PostgreSQL
build.For a Pg module, you should either find a binary distro which has it included (very hard -- as this should be a
solverbuild -- like in openoffice -- including the prebuild source tree) or to build it yourself. 

As a last comment, DBD::Pg would be a better bet, because its build is not based on PostgreSQL source, but on a working
binarydistribution, with libpq.dll and headers included. If you have problems with CPAN direct access using Perl,
there'salways the ftp/http download alternative -- don't forget the DBI module also.

Folks,

I'm just trying to get started on setting up postgreSQL on a Windows 2000
box, and I'm horribly confused. I've tried both techinqiues: compile
natively using Visual C++, and install cygwin and run the "Unix" version.

I'm to the point where I'm running a bash shell and am trying to start the
"easy" installation instrucitons. However, when I type in "./configure"
I get hte error:

  configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
  create executables.

I tried changing the permissions on the postgresql-7.1.2 directory but
that didn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Stuck but hopeful,
Robby

Robby,

If you don't want to compile it, you can just use the binary that comes with
cygwin

look at the postmaster and initdb man pages to get you started.

- make sure you also get cygipc
(http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/)

Solved my own problems.

To the other novices just getting started, you need (1) run initdb
from the command prompt, which creates a database. Then you need to
(2) start up the postmaster, using an environment variable or
just postmaster -D ./ if you're already in the same directory as
the DB. Then, (3) you need to create a database (I know, again!) using
the createdb utility (try "createdb mydb"). Finally, (4) run the psql
utility with the parameter of whatever database name you specified
("psql mydb" in the case above).  Now you can run SQL commands
to your heart's content!

Relieved and now in the world of ODBC,
-Robby
