Thread: Not finding RPMs for 8.4.2!
Hi Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am not getting all the required rpms for the Postgres version 8.4.2. ============= http://rpm.pbone.net/ Your query postgresql-devel-8.4.2 did not match any entry in database. Your query postgresql-server-8.4.2 did not match any entry in database. http://www.rpmfind.net/ Could not connect to the database: Too many connections ============== What should I be doing? Thanks

It's been a long time since I found either rpbone.net or rpmfind.net to be very useful, might as well use Google instead to find stuff--faster and more accurate. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg@2ndQuadrant.com www.2ndQuadrant.com

They also used to be at ftp.postgresql.org:/pub/binary. There are only rpms up to 8.4.1
Easy mistake to make.... The repo RPM version is 8.4-1 <-- note the hyphen. This is the repo for all 8.4 versions, including 8.4.2. Install the proper repo RPM for your platform and then you can just yum install (or upgrade) PostgreSQL 8.4.2. To browse the files in the 8.4 repo, try: http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.4/ Cheers! - Chris Francisco Reyes wrote: > A.

What;s the YUM command to upgrade PG? Do I need to stop PG server? Can I be sure that my config and other settings will not be overwritten? Thanks!

If you are upgrading from 8.X.Y to 8.X.Z, you don't need to backup anything. If you are performing a major upgrade, you need to dump and restore. http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/pgrpm.htm http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/45-An-Almost-Idiots-Guide-to-PostgreSQL-YUM.html http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/index.php?/archives/60-YUM-2-Almost-Idiots-Guide-to-upgrade-from-PostgreSQL-8.3.1-to-8.3.3.html http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/files/PostgreSQL-RPM-Installation-PGDG.pdf are good howtos about this. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE Command Prompt - http://www.CommandPrompt.com devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
