Well, I tried the installation from fresh and now I can get to the |
| 10 |
setup.php page, but I still have a few questions. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
During the installation I made these changes, which I'll post to bugzilla |
| 13 |
about the document's installation instructions: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
As user postgres, following the install guide, I issued this command: |
| 16 |
initdb -D /var/lib/postgresql/data |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
which failed: |
| 19 |
initdb: could not create directory "/var/lib/postgresql": Permission denied |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I had to 'chmod 777 /var/lib' to allow the installation to progress. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Is this OK? a security/problem ? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Then it said: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user |
| 28 |
"postgres". |
| 29 |
This user must also own the server process. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Which 'server process' is it referring to and what does this mean, |
| 32 |
exactly? What else, if anything do I need to do? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The message then ended with: |
| 36 |
WARNING: enabling "trust" authentication for local connections |
| 37 |
You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the |
| 38 |
next time you run initdb. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Success. You can now start the database server using: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
postmaster -D /var/lib/postgresql/data |
| 43 |
or |
| 44 |
pg_ctl -D /var/lib/postgresql/data -l logfile start |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I never did either of these, unlike last time, and the installation |
| 48 |
completed with only one more modification. However, I'm not sure |
| 49 |
if I need to add these to some config file somewhere? Or is the |
| 50 |
postgres startup file ok at this point? I guess I also need to |
| 51 |
figure out the authentication using the 'pg_hba.conf' file? |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Then I just exited from user postgres and completed the installation. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Further on in the installation: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
This failed: |
| 59 |
'psql template1 postgres < |
| 60 |
/usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/files/postgresql_db_tables' |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
so I had to use: |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
'psql template1 postgres < |
| 65 |
/usr/portage/net-analyzer/jffnms/files/postgresql_db_table' |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
that's it, but those above questions are still in need of an answer. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
thanks, |
| 72 |
