While working on the Mac I thought now that the client works for me what about the server and postgresql ?
I always tell everyone we are so cross platform. An you bet we are. I grabbed the postgresql installer from http://www.postgresqlformac.com/ and installed it. It actually gives you a nice set of graphical client tools to start/stop the server. Because I didn't know where the installer put the files and the bootstrapper for the mac was not yet quite ready I used cross bootstrapping. Linux came to my rescue. I simply changed the destination IP address for the Mac in the bootstrap conf files and started bootstrap-latest.sh It complained that the mac doesn't let me connect so i had to change the pg_hba.conf in /Library/PostgreSQL8/data/ to accept incoming coonections from my trusty linux. Automagically a database v6 was created on the Mac and I was actually able to use that one. Now beat that. We are now officially cross platform in every sense of the word. Cross bootstrapping rocks. If you take that idea one step further this means we can actually *remote update*. No need for the user to pull the update files. We can simply update *their* database from *our* computers. Now that gives remote control a new perspective in terms of support. -- Sebastian Hilbert Leipzig / Germany [www.gnumed.de] -> PGP welcome, HTML ->/dev/null _______________________________________________ Gnumed-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumed-devel
