Thread: PostgreSQL v8 & v9 on the same XP machine

PostgreSQL v8 & v9 on the same XP machine

From

Hello All,

 

Is it possible to run both PostgreSQL v8 & v9 on the same XP machine (different ports, of course).

If so, is there anything in particular that must be done to help them coexist?

 

The reason I ask is because I have tried this and the v9 (port 5432) runs fine, but the v8 (port 15432 and tried 5431) server does not start and I can’t find any error messages.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

 

Craigbert

different ports and different data directory, but yes, it's possible,
i'm running, for instance, 9.1 and 9.2dev on my machine.

(and different config-files...)

Please, answer to the list, not to me.


And yes: no issues with that port, i'm using ports near by 5432, but
again, no problem.

My apologies Andreas.  I did not pay attention when I hit reply.

Thanks for your response.  I am re-installing v8 even as I speak, er, type.

Re: PostgreSQL v8 & v9 on the same XP machine - SOLVED

OK.  I figured out that for some reason pgAdmin III was reporting the port
number as being one less than what it actually was.  I discovered this doing
a port scan of my computer to verify that the service was running AND that
it was on the correct port.

Thanks so much Andreas for patiently poking me along!
