Hi Paul,

i did not received a eMail with the answer and the Link to your Blog from the postgres list. But a link within this eMail lead me to the correct answer and link. Your blog entry looks pretty suitable. Especially the "postgres register" could be a nice way to deploy just the binaries and resolve some of my biggest issues with the installer(registry entries).
Tomorrow, i will try and report.

Thanks!

Peter

Hello,

What if you just rolled your own installer so that you would have control
over everything.

You could follow my blog (that was referenced earlier in this thread) to
some degree.

The first think that I would do is to get an install just the way you want it on a DEV machine. Then I would package that install and deploy that using .BAT files that would check to see if the NT User existed, registering
the service, and all of the other things that would need to be done.
Basically the second half of my blogged article.

Would that work?

Paul

Hi!

I am still working on this problem. With the installer of postgres,
it is not possible for me to install a second postgresql(maybe i just
try it in the wrong way?)!
With the binary, there are some showstoppers for me (executing as
postgres-user and adding a service with activated panda-VS and so on).

Regards,


Peter

Hi Peter,

Say you have installed PostgreSQL in C:/PostgresA directory... make
a copy of this folder as C:/PostgreSQLB... edit the conf file say
postgres.conf(this should be in /data directory) file of second
server in C:/PostgreSQLB & locate the port & change it to 5433...
then you can start both servers with

C:\PostgresA>initdb -D /<path2PostgresADataDir>

C:\PostgresB>initdb -D /<path2PostgresBDataDir>

Pls note that I haven't checked this thing..if you want me to check
then gimme 1 day..I would check it & let you know..

Thanks,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,

Thanks for the fast reply, but how can i install the second,
third,.... postgres? As mentioned, the installer comes up with a
simple change dialogue.

Hi Peter,

I think it is possible you can run multiple servers on a single
machine, provided on different port & data directory.

Thanks,
Umesh

Subject: [ADMIN] Several postgres installation on windows possible?

Hi Guys,

I like to deploy a application based on postgres and i am pretty
unsure whether it is possible to have several postgres installation
on windows running in parallel.
The normal installer comes up with a "change dialogue" if i try to
install a second time or postgres is already installed on the target
machine and i run my setup with the postgres installer included.

Thanks for reading and answering,


Peter
