Re: [ADMIN] Several postgres installation on windows possible?

[Umesh Shastry]

Hi Peter,

Say you have installed PostgreSQL in C:/PostgresA directory... make a copy of 
this folder as C:/PostgreSQLB... edit the conf file say postgres.conf(this 
should be in /data directory) file of second server in C:/PostgreSQLB & locate 
the port & change it to 5433... then you can start both servers with

C:\PostgresA>initdb -D /<path2PostgresADataDir>

C:\PostgresB>initdb -D /<path2PostgresBDataDir>

Pls note that I haven't checked this thing..if you want me to check then gimme 
1 day..I would check it & let you know..

Thanks,
Umesh

  Hi Umesh,


  Thanks for the fast reply, but how can i install the second, third,.... 
postgres? As mentioned, the installer comes up with a simple change dialogue.

    Hi Peter,

    I think it is possible you can run multiple servers on a single machine, 
provided on different port & data directory.

    Thanks,

      Hi Guys,

      I like to deploy a application based on postgres and i am pretty  
      unsure whether it is possible to have several postgres installation  
      on windows running in parallel.
      The normal installer comes up with a "change dialogue" if i try to  
      install a second time or postgres is already installed on the target  
      machine and i run my setup with the postgres installer included.

      Thanks for reading and answering,


      Peter
