Hi, I recently got a dedicated server at Rackspace.com that came with PostgreSQL server version 7.1.3 installed. I am installing a script that requires PostgreSQL v 7.2 or greater so I decided to upgrade to the latest version (7.4). Unfortunately, Rackspace does not support PostgreSQL databases and I could not find anyone to do this upgrade for me. I am kind of new but feel confident I can upgrade/install to the new version if someone can help me with a few questions: Current configuration: - My server is running Redhat Linux 2.1AS - I have not created any databases yet. - By default, there is a template0 and template1 databases which I guess are required by PostgreSQL. - There is a postgres user already created. - PostgreSQL files are currently installed in the following folders: /var/lib/pgsql/ /usr/share/pgsql/ /usr/local/webmin-1.090/postgresql/ /usr/bin/ (for postgres and postgresql-dump files) /usr/include/pgsql/ /usr/lib/pgsql/ /etc/webmin/postgresql/ Questions: I was reading the installation manual at postgresql.org, section 14.4 (If you are upgrading) and saw I had to backup my databases located in /usr/local/pgsql/data/ and also suggested to move the old installation out of the way that is supposed to be in /usr/local/pgsql/ Obviously, if I install the version 7.4, it will be installed in this folder so I have nothing to move. 1) Do I have to uninstall the current version 7.1.3 to install this new version 7.4? If yes, how do I uninstall the current version? 2) If I only need to stop the current PostgreSQL server and install and run the new one, will there be any conflict issues later on? If yes, what can I do to prevent this? 3) Is there anyone experienced enough that could help me with all this in case I need it? I would appreciate any help on this. Regards, Sergio L. Garza M.
