Thread: Postgres 9.4.5 Installation on Centos 7.3
Hi,
I have to install Postgres 9.4.5 On Centos 7.2, what is the best way to install, please suggest:
Through ./configure and make
OR
Through below link:
Please provide, if any other installation document.
For Postgres 9.1 version, I did postgres installation through run file like (postgresql-9.1.2-1-linux-x64.run), for 9.4 version there is no run file right now.
Regards
SS

Dear Adrian,
I have initialized the database through below command through Postgres user but in my "/u01/postgres9.4/" folder pg_log folder is not available, what is the reason behind this.
-----------------------------------
-bash-4.2$ initdb -D /u01/postgres9.4/
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale "en_US.UTF-8".
The default database encoding has accordingly been set to "UTF8".
The default text search configuration will be set to "english".

I would say using the Yum repo. If you do the compile from source you will need to make sure you have a development tool chain in place as well as --devel libraries for the various components.--

the yum installed version defaults to putting the data directory in
/var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data ... There's a bunch of reasons to stick with
this, not the least thats where selinux is configured to expect it to be.
I would recommend mounting a database filesystem as /var/lib/pgsql
first, then doing the following as root...
/usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/postgresql94-setup initdb
systemctl enable postgresql-9.4.service
systemctl start postgresql-9.4.service
the server is now running, and will autostart when you reboot.

Dear John,
Thanks for update !!!
Is it not possible If my storage is mounted on /u01 and I will create the directory within "u01/" /postgres9.4/data. And now I want to initialize my data within this directory ("/u01/postgres9.4/data").
There is any specific reason to use only this by default directory "/var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data".
And if I want to keep (("/u01/postgres9.4/data) this directory then what should be the command of initdb because command giving the error.
(-bash-4.2$ /usr/pgsql-9.4/bin/postgresql94-setup initdb -D /u01/postgres9.4/data/

you will need to mess with selinux tags to get it to cooperate.

create file /etc/sysconfig/pgsql/postgresql-9.4 and add the line
PGDATA=/u01/postgres9.4/data then run the postgreql94-setup initdb,
it will pick up this setting and use it, as will the systemd service
scripts.

Here selinux is already disabled on server and I am installing postgres on Centos 7.2.
