Hello I aim to use postgresql-9.1.1-1-windows.exe and postgis-pg90-binaries-1.5.3.zip (aiming to use with zigGIS, PgMap or ArcGIS 10.1, map service). Some basic questions for Windows Server 2003 installation:
1) PostGIS manuals say “A complete installation of PostgreSQL (including *server headers*) is required.” Were the server headers automatically installed? I chose PgOleDB, pgJDBC and psqlODBC database drivers for PostgreSQL, if that matters. 2) Should I worry also about this (from the manual as well)?: For GEOS functionality, when you install PostgresSQL you may need to *explicitly link PostgreSQL against the standard **C++ library*: LDFLAGS=-lstdc++ ./configure [YOUR OPTIONS HERE] 3) *PostGIS JDBC driver* I understand to be different from PostgreSQL JDBC driver. http://postgis.refractions.net/pipermail/postgis-devel/2006-November/002375.html says Versions 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 of the PostGIS-JDBC-Drivers are available at http://lists.refractions.net/m2/org/postgis. Someone also mentioned in discussions that he found *postgis-jdbc 1.3.5 on public Maven repositories. *What is Maven or Pom I don't even know. Those all may be old - should I use the non-debug jar version at JDBC SNAPSHOT on page http://postgis.refractions.net/download/? Where should the chosen version be installed, or how? By merely listing it in CLASSPATH variable, as the PostgreSQL JDBC driver? The PostGIS's README.txt does not tell such things. 4) As PostGIS is not found under Stack Builder yet for 9.1, I should put the binaries in correct places. Are the postgis-pg90-binaries-1.5.3 contents put in the installation folder (...\PostgreSQL\9.1\, so that most files go under the three subfolders)? The README.txt does not tell this either. 5) Just wondering: to create a PostGIS enabled database, is the makepostgisdb.bat usage a must? Last year at least it was possible to use PostGIS template in PgAdmin III to create a new database. Arto
