Hi,
And thanks again Tom + all the other good folks as well.
Happily on 7.4.1 now.
Here's what I did:
Dump all (as postgres):
bash-2.05a$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_dumpall -c > all_local_for_741_c
Postgres down (as root):
#kill -9 postmaster process number
Move old datadir out of the way:
#mv /usr/share/pgdata/ /usr/share/pgdata_old
New dir for the new install:
#mkdir /usr/share/pgdata
The above for postgres:
#chown postgres /usr/share/pgdata
Any other old stuff you might find out of the way (?):
#mv /usr/share/pgsql/ /usr/share/pgsql_old
#mv /usr/local/pgsql/ /usr/local/pgsql_old
(cruel ?)
#rm -R -f /usr/include/pgsql
#rm -R -f /var/lib/pgsql
(ruthless ?)
#rm /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgres
Back to business:
#gunzip postgresql-7.4.1.tar.gz
#tar -xf postgresql-7.4.1.tar
#cd postgresql-7.4.1
(next depends on your libs etc.):
#./configure --without-zlib --enable-locale
#gmake
.. Ready to install.
#gmake install
.. Install succesfull.
#su postgres
bash-2.05a$/usr/local/pgsql/bin/initdb -D /usr/share/pgdata -L
/usr/local/pgsql/share -E LATIN1
bash-2.05a$/usr/local/pgsql/bin postmaster -D /usr/share/pgdata -B 128 -N 256
&
bash-2.05a$psql -E template1 < all_local_for_741_c
Rock'n'roll !
BR,
Aarni
