Thread: trouble downloading postgres 9.4 for RHEL 6.x
Several weeks ago, I successfully downloaded postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run on a Linux server.
Today, I attempted to download from the site. I notice 9.5 is there, but getting lots of errors:
1) when downloading and running latest
rchive: /home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe
[/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe or
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe.ZIP, period.
2) Then I tried to scp from the other machine and changed permissions to 777 and used sudo to execute the file but get this:
bash-4.1$ chmod 777 postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
bash-4.1$ sudo ./postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file.
What is the recommended 9.4 version to download from and the steps?
I want to use the graphical installer since I used it last time.
Thanks a lot!!

*I* recommend...
# yum install -y http://yum.postgresql.org/9.4/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-redhat94-9.4-1.noarch.rpmand to heck with any gui, don't need no steekin' gui.
# yum install -y postgresql94-{server,contrib,devel}
# service postgresql-9.4 initdb
# vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.4/data/{postgresql.conf,pg_hba.conf} # tune as you see fit
# service postgresql-9.4 start
# chkconfig postgresql-9.4 on

I used the same link: http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload
I chose Version 9.5.0 Beta 1 Linux x86-64
Then, I tried 9.4 for Linux x86-64
Has anyone downloaded/installed within last 2 days? my OS is RHEL 6.5
I am using the Linux machine's firefox browser to download.
is there a way to use yum to get the same installer program that goes through all the steps?
Please advise. thanks

Where did you download from?
Today, I attempted to download from the site. I notice 9.5 is there, but
getting lots of errors:

Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due to an
incomplete or corrupt downloaded file.
What is the recommended 9.4 version to download from and the steps?
What OS and version?
I want to use the graphical installer since I used it last time.
Assuming you mean the EDB installer:

With the graphical installer, I had a way to create a user. Does it create postgres user by default?

Postgres isn't like Oracle. Use yum to install, then run
/etc/init.d/postgres9.5 initdb
Then, run:
/etc/init.d/postgres9.5 start

With the graphical installer, I had a way to create a user. Does it create postgres user by default?
Let me know. Thx

Postgres isn't like Oracle. Use yum to install, then run
/etc/init.d/postgres9.5 initdb
Then, run:
/etc/init.d/postgres9.5 start
That's it. Initdb creates the instance, start - starts it. No dbca or other such garbage is needed. Welcome to the easy life :)> --

after following the steps I gave earlier, do this...
$ sudo -u postgres psql
.... postgres=# create user YOURNAME password 'whatever' superuser;
.... postgres=# create database YOURNAME owner YOURNAME;
.... postgres=# \q
$
and now when logged in as unix user 'YOURNAME', you can connect to psql
and use all admin functionality directly. if you want a gui admin
utility...
$ sudo yum install -y pgadmin3_94
....
$ pgadmin

Installing from packages is the better long term solution as you are plugged into future updates automatically.

Adrian,
I am doing same steps as you. And my byte count matches yours. It is a RHEL 6.5 Linux machine. If the byte count matches how can it be incomplete? I am baffled. Thanks for any clues!

Maybe, though I used FireFox to download also. I would go to wherever the file has been downloaded on your computer and delete it and try the download again. The file I got was:
37548416 Oct 21 09:20 postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
CCing list
I am seeing: Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due
to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file.
I am a Linux newbie. Is there a way to test if the transfers are getting
corrupted?
after download, did you just change permissions and ran sudo
./postgres.run file?
Yes, so:
aklaver@killi:~/Downloads> chmod 755 postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
aklaver@killi:~/Downloads> sudo ./postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
The reason for using installer is that it goes through all the steps and
instantiates a sid.
What is a sid?
The purpose of this installation is for me to have a database to rest
the restoration of pg_dump.
You can also get that with a Yum install, see below for more:

Thank you.

should matter.
Then, I tried 9.4 for Linux x86-64
Has anyone downloaded/installed within last 2 days? my OS is
RHEL 6.5
I am using the Linux machine's firefox browser to download.
is there a way to use yum to get the same installer program that
goes
through all the steps?
No, Yum will not use the installer program, it will use the RH
native packaging.
Is there a particular reason you want the installer?
Something specific you want to install?
Please advise. thanks

Where did you download from?
Today, I attempted to download from the site. I notice
9.5 is
there, but
getting lots of errors:
Looks like you are trying to run a *.exe(Windows) file on a
Linux
machine, that is the source of the errors.
1) when downloading and running latest
rchive:
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe
[/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found.
Either this
file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part
archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile
comment will
be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe or
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe.zip, and
cannot find
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe.ZIP,
period.
2) Then I tried to scp from the other machine and changed
permissions to
777 and used sudo to execute the file but get this:
bash-4.1$ chmod 777 postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
bash-4.1$ sudo ./postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely
due to an
incomplete or corrupt downloaded file.
What is the recommended 9.4 version to download from
and the steps?
What OS and version?
I want to use the graphical installer since I used it
last time.
Assuming you mean the EDB installer:

Thanks a lot!!

Hello all,
I got past the yum install, ran initdb but running into errors when starting service. Do you have to login as user postgres to start the service? THANKS
I am on RHEL 6.5 and don't know the postgres user password.
service postgresql9.4 start
postgresql9.4: unrecognized service
-bash-4.1$ service postgresql start
postgresql: unrecognized service
-bash-4.1$ sudo passwd postgres
[sudo] password for postgres:
Sorry, try again.

Looks to me("Loaded plugins: security") there is something monitoring downloads on you machine. Given that this is RedHat I would say SELinux. Might be why the installer failed. In any case I do not use RedHat so I am not much use here. Try what I suggest below and if that does not work I would re-post to list with the above as there are people there that know more about RedHat then I and will have the knowledge to get the install to work.
That is first step. Now go to next step:
http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/
"
Once this is done, you can proceed to install and update packages the same way as the ones included in the distribution.
yum install postgresql94-server postgresql94-contrib
service postgresql-9.4 initdb
chkconfig postgresql-9.4 on "

Does it work for you? Can you let me know?
Yes, it works for me. I am not on RedHat though. At this point just
do the yum install, it is the better option anyway.
Thanks

Adrian,
I am doing same steps as you. And my byte count matches

It is a
RHEL 6.5 Linux machine. If the byte count matches how
can it be
incomplete? I am baffled. Thanks for any clues!

If you are dead set on using the installer you might try, from
command line:
wget
http://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
See if the direct download does any better.
