Install PosgreSQL 9.1.3:
PostgreSQL publishes rpm packages for all Linux platforms, their packages are generally fresher than those in the other repository. We need to add the repository on our machine by installing repo rpm.
[root@itzgeek~/]# rpm -Uvh http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/pgdg-centos93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm |
Install
PostgreSQL 9.3.1 , enable only PostgreSQL repository to install.
[root@itzgeek~/]# yum install postgresql93 postgresql93-server postgresql93-libs postgresql93-contrib postgresql93-devel --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=pgdg93 |
Configuring PostgreSQL 9.3.1 server:
Initialize the PostgreSQL.
[root@itzgeek~/]# /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/postgresql93-setup initdb |
PostgreSQL normally listens on the localhosts only, if would you like to enable the PostgreSQL to listen on all ip addresses; edit the /var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/postgresql.conf .
[root@itzgeek~/]# vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/postgresql.conf |
Go to Connections and Communications section, find the "listen_address" variable. Uncomment the "listen_addresses" and place "*" instead of "localhost"
Before editing: #listen_addresses = "localhost" |
Add your network to access
database remotely; Edit /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_hba.conf.
[root@itzgeek~/]# vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/pg_hba.conf |
Add the following line according to your network configuration with md5 password authentication (Enable remote access of database).
# IPv4 local connections: host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all 107.155.94.0/24 md5 # IPv6 local connections: host all all ::1/128 md5 |
Restart the PostgreSQL server.
[root@itzgeek~/]# systemctl start postgresql-9.3.service |
Confirm the PostgreSQL listening.
[root@itzgeek ~/]# netstat -antup | grep 5432 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5432 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 39620/postgres tcp6 0 0 :::5432 :::* LISTEN 39620/postgres |
Auto start the service on startup.
[root@itzgeek~/]# systemctl enable postgresql-9.3.service |
Creating Database:
Login as postgres user.
[root@geeksite~/]$ su -l postgres |
create the database called "test"
Login into the database.
Create a new user called "raj" to manage the databases.
test=# CREATE USER raj WITH SUPERUSER LOGIN PASSWORD 'raj'; |
Login with the superuser.
sam@geeksite~/$ psql -h localhost -d test -U raj |
That's all!. You have successfully installed the
PostgreSQL 9.3 on
CentOS 7 / RHEL 7.
