Thread: PostgreSQL-7.1.3 Installation Problem

PostgreSQL-7.1.3 Installation Problem

From
"pcampaigne"

I downloaded the rpm files (notice that this in not the current version) and installed them one at a time in the following order:
I logged in as root and executed:
rpm -ivh postgresql-libs-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh postgresql-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh postgresql-docs-7.1.3-1PGDG.i386.rpm
 
I got a message like this for each one:
1:postgresql-libs  ########### [100%]
 
So I assume that the installation is ok.  However, I can't find the directory with the start file. I did find /usr/lib/pgsql/test.
I looked in /etc/rc.d/init.d/   but couldn't find postgresql.
 
What am I doing wrong?
Where do I find the installation instructions for postgresql-7.1.3?  I installed the docs rpm but can't find them.
 
Thanks,
Phil

Um, why are you installing 7.1.3?    7.3.1 is the current version, and 7.2.x
has RPMs available for all plaforms.
