Thread: First time installer !!
Ok folks, I have successfully installed Postgresql 7.3.1. in my Debian Potato running on a P133. Actually, it was easier than what I expected. All the necessary steps for the installation are outlined in the INSTALL file. There is one question I have for which I could not find an answer in this file though, what do I do to make Postgresql sever to start at boot time while at the same time kill in it at shutdown time? Thanks in advance.

I don't run potato, but in the testing distro it seems to put a link in the /etc/rc2.d/ to an init script in /etc/init.d/ If it doesn't, you can probably set one up yourself using pg_ctl (which is probably in/usr/lib/postgresql/bin/). Good luck with postgres! Jeff

PostgreSQL 7.2 was just released this week. 7.1.3 is the previous
version. 7.3.1 is in the future.

Thanks in advance. If you're running Debian, there's no need to do a source install. Oliver Elphick's debian packages work great. You can find Postgresql 7.1.3 packages in the unstable group. -- Jeff Self Information Technology Analyst Department of Personnel City of Newport News 2400 Washington Ave. Newport News, VA 23607 757-926-6930

This involves creating K... entries in /etc/rc[016].d which are run at shutdown time. If you need to do this for your own locally built package, Debian provides the command update-rc.d.
