* IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE * IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE *

The PostgreSQL port now obeys hier(7) by default, which means that it
|
|
installs into:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin
|
|
/usr/local/lib
|
|
/usr/local/include/pgsql
|
|
|
|
You *must* move away your old installation from users' and
|
|
ldconfig(8)'s PATHs. If you rather install using the old-fashion
|
|
layout, cancel now and build the port with "make -DWITH_OLD_LAYOUT".
|
|
|
|
The pgsql user's home dir is /usr/local/pgsql by default, but can be
|
|
changed with for example chpass(1). Datadir defaults to ~pgsql/data,
|
|
but can be changed by modifying the ~pgsql/.profile script.
|
|
|
|
As always, backup your data before upgrading. If the upgrade leads to
|
|
a higher minor revision (i.e. 7.0.x -> 7.1.x), a dump and restore of
|
|
all databases is required. This is *NOT* done by the port!
|
|
|
|
======================================================================
|
|
|
|
To initialize the database, you should run initdb as the "pgsql" user.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
su -l pgsql -c initdb
|
|
|
|
You can then start PostgreSQL by running:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start
|
|
|
|
For postmaster settings, see ~pgsql/data/postmaster.conf
