[Pgcluster-general] Pgcluster pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 installquestions

[Given, Robert A]

So if I have Postgresql 8.1.3 already installed and working, all I have
to do is install the patch, not the full package version?

installquestions


Hi Bob,




	Greetings, 

	I'm running Postgresql 8.1.3 on Linux 2.6.5-7.282-s390x and
tried to install pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 and observed several things.

	1. The Pgcluster install created a pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 directory
where a lot of binary files were placed. It also replaced several
Postgresql binaries in /usr/local/pgsql. Is this necessary or can I
create a completely separate directory for PGDATA and LD_LIBRARY_PATH?
This caused a problem when I backed out the Pgcluster install and tried
to perform a createuser and got "createuser: creation of new role
failed: ERROR:  This query is not permitted when all replication servers
fell down." I had to restore my /usr/local/pgsql directory from systems
backups.

your PGDATA can be anywhere you like. You don't want to use createuser
when the cluster isn't running - the error message you get tells you why
:-)


	2. Is pgcluster-1.5.0rc14 the version I should be using with
Postgresql 8.1.3? I see that pgcluster-1.7.0rc3 is out, should I use
that instead?

1.5.0rc14 is fine - it uses postgresql 8.1.3.


	3. If I install pgcluster-1.5.0rc14, do I need to install the
pgcluster-1.5.0rc14-patch? Or does this patch just bring older versions
of pgcluster-1.5.0 up to patch level 14?

No, the patch is for patching postgresql 8.1.3 to get pgcluster.

Regards,

Christian
