[GENERAL] the installer of postgresql 9.4.1208 and 8.4-703 doesn't start

[Stefania Miravalle]

Hi there!
I am new here around, so please don't laugh at my question.

I dowloaded the installer but if I double click on that... nothing happens
:(. what am I doing wrong? I also turned off the antivirus, just in case
but nothing changed.

Any suggestion?
thank yo

the Win x86-32 or win x86-64 links from here 
http://www.enterprisedb.com/products-services-training/pgdownload#windows ?


the version numbers you give above don't match any I see there. 8.4 
isn't even supported anymore, hasn't been for a long time.

I dowloaded the installer


The strings "9.4-1208" and "8.4-703" look suspiciously like the PostgreSQL JDBC 
drivers
(drivers for the Java Programming Language). Perhaps that's not what you wanted?

To install PostgreSQL itself start here:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/

Bye,
Chris.

Well that is the JDBC driver.

Are you trying to install it?

Or are you trying to install the Postgres server?

Oooops, sorry, I will reply to main list too.

So I just downloaded and instelled SQL Workbench/J as my it department
said, to help me with sql queries.
they also told me "Download a JDBC driver that will enable SQL Workbench/J
to connect to your cluster. Currently we recommends this version 8 JDBC
driver: http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc4.jar

I did it but I am not an expert, therefore I supposed I had to install it.
Am I wrong?

thank you!

No, you are not wrong. You will need the jar file for SQL Workbench/J.

To  install see here:

Configuring the database (JDBC) drivers




thank you!

a .jar file is a java package, they are used as-is, most typically by 
specifying them in the CLASSPATH when you start a Java program.   As 
Adrian said, in this case, you configure sql workbench/j to use it, 
rather than installing it in your OS like regular programs.

Using git clones of everything on CentOS 7.1 I cannot reproduce this
problem.
Even the actual pg_upgrade without -c works, the cluster starts up and
replicates
just fine. I went through installing a 9.4 with 2.2.2, then upgrading to
2.2.4 (via
UPDATE FUNCTIONS) and last upgrading to 9.5 with pg_upgrade.

The only thing I can imagine would be that there is another slony cluster
(or
remnants of it) hanging around in the 9.4 installation, possibly in another
database.

Can you provide a list of all databases and all schemas in them from the
9.4 install?
