Hi I need some advice on installing the pgAudit extension as I am new to PostgreSQL extenstions.
I currently have Postgres95 on Linux Redhat 6.8 running on the server and I need to test out the pgAudt extension. I downloaded the file pgaudit-REL9_5_STABLE.zip from https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit/tree/REL9_5_STABLE In the Readme file, under "Compile and Install" the instructions are: 1. Clone the PostgreSQL repository: git clone https://github.com/postgres/postgres.git 2. Checkout REL9_5_STABLE branch: git checkout REL9_5_STABLE 3. Make PostgreSQL: ./configure make install -s 4. Change to the contrib directory: cd contrib 5. Clone the pgAudit extension: git clone https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit.git 6. Change to pgAudit directory: cd pgaudit 7. Build pgAudit and run regression tests: make -s check 8. Install pgAudit: make install My problem is that I can't find the contrib directory anywhere on the server. ( assume this is because the install steps refers to the old Postfres 8???) There is default directory for extensions in my current 9.5 install: /usr/pgsql-9.5/share/extension/ As I have Postrgres9.5 installed and downloaded the zip file (pgaudit-REL9_5_STABLE.zip), I assume I only have to perform steps 7 and 8. Do I just unzip the content into a directory /usr/pgsql-9.5/share/extension/pgaudit and then run the steps 7 and 8??? Or do I even need to run the make steps as all the files appears to be there. Ie .control, .sql, .conf, etc. The makefile in pgaudit-REL9_5_STABLE.zip refers to .../contrib/pgaudit/..... ????? # contrib/pg_audit/Makefile MODULE_big = pgaudit OBJS = pgaudit.o $(WIN32RES) EXTENSION = pgaudit DATA = pgaudit--1.0.sql PGFILEDESC = "pgAudit - An audit logging extension for PostgreSQL" REGRESS = pgaudit REGRESS_OPTS = --temp-config=$(top_srcdir)/contrib/pgaudit/pgaudit.conf ifdef USE_PGXS PG_CONFIG = pg_config PGXS := $(shell $(PG_CONFIG) --pgxs) include $(PGXS) else subdir = contrib/pgaudit top_builddir = ../.. include $(top_builddir)/src/Makefile.global include $(top_srcdir)/contrib/contrib-global.mk endif Thanks for your help.
