Thread: Installing 6.3.2 and 6.4 in the same machine

I have multiple databases running on a linux server. I'd like to
hardly test 6.4 before upgrading. Can i run a 6.4 postmaster in
the same machine i'm running 6.3.2?

thanks.

Yes, install it on a separate tree. Under the postgres superuser, define
your environment variables (PGDATA, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.) to point to that
tree, define PGPORT to a differet port than the default, and run the
postmaster.
