PostgreSQL installation Help Install Help
apt-get install postgresql-8.4
Enter psql command prompt and change the postgres password in the 'postgres' database to something else.
sudo -u postgres psql postgres \password postgres
Configuring Postgresql for TCP/IP connectivity
Edit the /etc/postgresql/8.*/main/pg_hba.conf to allow connections from other systems. Example assumes the non-routable IP 192.168.0.0 block is being used for the server. If your server is using a different IP block edit accordingly.
# Database administrative login by UNIX sockets local all postgres ident # TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD # "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local all all trust # IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 trust host all all 192.168.0.1/24 trust # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5
Edit the etc/postgresql/8.*/main/postgresql.conf in your favourite editor and alter the listen_addresses as below.
Change the following line from #listen_addresses = 'localhost' To listen_addresses = '*'
Install PostGIS spatial cartidge for PostgreSQL (1.4.0-2 at time of documentation)
apt-get install postgis apt-get install postgresql-8.4-postgis
Alternate build installation for latest version of Postgis (1.5.1)
# Documentation URL: http://www.postgis.org/documentation/manual-1.4/ # apt-get install libxml2-dev # apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libpq-dev # apt-get install libgeos-dev # apt-get install proj
Alternate install for GEOS 3.1.1
Postgis version 1.5.1 demands GEOS 3.1.1 so if you have installed that version you will need to perform the following installation procedure.
# wget http://postgis.refractions.net/download/postgis-1.5.1.tar.gz # tar xvfz postgis-1.5.1.tar.gz # cd postgis-1.5.1 # ./configure # make # make install
