Обсуждение: installation..
Hi guys.. I've just installed RedHat 7.3 with PgSQL packages and I don't really know where to start now. I have few questions: 1. how do I add users and hosts? 2. how do I run client? 3. when trying to run PgAccess client, it tell's me I need libpgtcl.so. I found a package that has it, installed it but still can't run pgaccess.. is there anything else I've missed? sorry for this stupid questions, any help would be very appreciated.. tia, miro.

There were several versions available, but one looked like version 7.2, so I grabbed it and installed it, and pgaccess started working. This is where I'm stuck. Pgaccess says the connection is refused when asked to connect to a server at port 5432 on localhost. If I leave the hostname empty, pgaccess fills the hostname field with "local (sockets)" and opens the database. Telnet localhost 5432 also says the connection is refused. Webmin's postgresql module connects to the server. I can set server config options and create databases and tables with webmin, and webmin can start and stop the server. If I run psql with no arguments, it connects to a database named ghe (my username). I ran an nmap tcp SYN scan of ports 1-65535 on localhost. 5432 is not open, and examining all the open ports with fuser, ps, and grep accounts for all of them - and neither postgresql nor postmaster is using any of the active ports. When the system boots, the postgresql startup script says it is successful, and there is nothing to the contrary in the system log. Iptables says it is accepting and forwarding everything. I've tried as user ghe and as user postgres. I've installed 7.2.2 that came in an RPM with RedHat 8.0, and I've downloaded and installed 7.3 from the web site. Help, please?? -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com
Start postmaster with -i. This will tell it to listen for tcp/ip packets on port 5432.

The important part, though, was realizing that postgresql doesn't listen for IP packets by default. The -i switch to postmaster isn't a practical solution on my system, though, because the startup script uses pg_ctl, and -i isn't a legal option. There's a param in the config file called tcpip_socket - the first one in the distributed postgresql.config - that needs to be set to true. It's all in TFM, once I knew to look for it. Thanks very much. Postgresql isn't like the other servers I've played with on Linux. I have a feeling I'm at the bottom of a very high and very steep learning curve... -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com
