Re: [ADMIN] two versions on same linux

[Andrew Biagioni]

I would recommend one on the default port (5432).  I have also used, without problems (on RedHat 7.3) ports 5434, 5435, 5436, 5437, 15437. What I would do (more experienced people, pls. correct me) is to check your /etc/services file to see what ports are used for what (e.g.:     ...     cfengine        5308/tcp                        # CFengine     cfengine        5308/udp                        # CFengine     ... Means:  if you use Cold Fusion (cf) don't use port 5308. If you use outside packages that use a port but are not standard (sorry, no good examples), avoid their port(s). It used to be that any port over 10,000 was "open".  I suspect it's not really true anymore, but usually safe. You can also change your port at any time by changing (or adding) the value in postgresql.conf:     port = 5432 can become:     port = 15432 or     port = 5434 etc.              Andrew Paul Gimpelj wrote: thanks have running simo, Have you any suggestions on port numbers?   ----- Original Message ----- From: Muhammad Imran To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 8:23 AM Subject: Re: [ADMIN] two versions on same linux yup, just configure both on differnt ports ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Gimpelj To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 12:14 PM Subject: [ADMIN] two versions on same linux Hi,   I have redhat 7.3 and postgres 7.2   Is there a way to have 7.4 installed together with postgres 7.2 ? and both running at the same time, with of course different data directories.   should i use the generic postgres or the rpm'd.   The existing redhat has no passwords for postgres, and even if if assign one to user postgres, postgres ignores it.   thanks paul
