Dear all,
I am trying to install the postgres8.2.14 via the RPM; however the
install directory is default to the following folder
* Executables : /usr/bin
* Libraries : /usr/lib
* Documentation : /usr/share/doc/postgresql-x.y.z ,
/usr/share/doc/postgresql-x.y.z/contrib
* Contrib : /usr/share/pgsql/contrib
* Data : /var/lib/pgsql/data
As we are bundling the postgresql db as our product release, we would
like to keep the Postgres executable dir, Data Dir under our product
folder. In this case, could I know whether I can customize the install
directory when i do the RPM installation?
Why don't you use the archive binaries from EnterpriseDB?
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgbindownload.do
I use the "ZIP Version" on Windows to "package" Postgresql without problems.
I just unzip the archive, run initdb pointing to a directory which is located next to the directory where I unpack the archive.
I then use batch files to start and stop the PG server during startup of my
(web) application
Regards
Thomas
