Обсуждение: Comment 1976 added to page installation.html of version 7.4
Author: kwanghui Lim <lim_kwang_hui@yahoo.com> ---- Dear Moderator, I sent the earlier comment (attached below). pl note some changes are needed: /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/createdb test /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql test I would appreciate if you could update those two lines. Basically, on debian systems, the executable files are not stored in /usr/local/pgsql/bin but at /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/instead. Many Thanks .kwang. -----------message as presently posted online ------------------ http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/installation.html kwang <lim_kwang_hui AT yahoo.com> 06 Jan 2005 15:42:53 On Debian Systems, the "short version" of the setup above should use the following, including the different directories. to install the package apt-get update apt-get install postgresql initialize the database system su su - postgres /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data /etc/init.d/postgresql start that's it. once running, you can use it, e.g. /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test ---- Manual page: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/installation.html Reject: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/admin/comments.php?action=reject&id=1976 Edit: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/admin/comment-edit.php?id=1976 Delete: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/admin/comments.php?action=delete&id=1976
Hi all, This seems more appropriate to be forwarded to the Debian packager, or the docs people. Any suggestions? (I'm not sure who looks after the Debian packages) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift nobody wrote: > Author: kwanghui Lim <lim_kwang_hui@yahoo.com> > ---- > Dear Moderator, > > I sent the earlier comment (attached below). > pl note some changes are needed: > /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/createdb test > /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/psql test > > I would appreciate if you could update those two lines. > Basically, on debian systems, the executable files are not stored in /usr/local/pgsql/bin but at /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/instead. > > Many Thanks > > .kwang. > > -----------message as presently posted online ------------------ > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/installation.html > > kwang <lim_kwang_hui AT yahoo.com> > 06 Jan 2005 15:42:53 > > On Debian Systems, the "short version" of the setup above should use the following, including the different directories. > > to install the package > apt-get update > apt-get install postgresql > > initialize the database system > su > su - postgres > /usr/lib/postgresql/bin/initdb -D /var/lib/postgres/data > /etc/init.d/postgresql start > > that's it. once running, you can use it, e.g. > /usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb test > /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql test > ---- > Manual page: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/installation.html > Reject: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/admin/comments.php?action=reject&id=1976 > Edit: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/admin/comment-edit.php?id=1976 > Delete: http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/admin/comments.php?action=delete&id=1976 > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings -- "One who sees the invisible can do the impossible." + Frank Gaines

The whole thing belongs nowhere in our docs anyway. It is not our
business to document decisions made by downstream packagers; it is
theirs.

Is is worth making a note of, that its different for Debian, just so that people using Debian but new to PostgreSQL will be aware of it? In the SysAdmin part of the docs, we document shared memory (and similar) settings for various platforms, so I was thinking along that line.

The entire installation chapter is meant to be read *only* by people who
are installing from source, and it already says so. Perhaps we could
add a line or two to the chapter heading to make that clearer ...

Heh, it's probably just that I didn't notice it, which I do a lot. ;) + Justin > regards, tom lane -- "One who sees the invisible can do the impossible." + Frank Gaines
