Обсуждение: How can I run a PostgreSQL database outside /var/run/postgresql?
I just want to start up postgres or pg_ctl process using a different port, pointing to a different data directory and get it running, with permissions etc working okay.
I don't want it to depend on the existing package page structure in /etc/postgresql and /var/run/postgresql. The only thing required is database compatiblity with the existing package based installations, which I may be able to install if they are absent
The main points are -
1. Which data and configurations should be copied, ie the files and directories should be copied from /etc/postgresql/xxx and /var/run/postgresql
2. What executables are required, whether they can be extracted from existing packages ie rpm/deb directly or after they have been installations to their locations.
3. My preference will be to use existing package based installations or install them if possible in case of dependencies which are not present in my files, with my executables as there second option.
Thanks

I recommend you spend some time looking over the relevant documentation, trying to make it work, and posting a more specific question if you have problems with that. These links might be good places to start: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/tutorial-start.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/app-initdb.html -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Do you want to create you own custom file layout instead of one that has been chosen by one of the popular and well-supported distros? If so the short answer is to, in effect, create you own custom package. That ultimately requires that you compile PostgreSQL yourself with your own custom configuration.
