I installed Linux Red Hat and during the installation i choose to install php and pgsql. After some initial problem to discover the directory where the pgsql was installed all worked well but then i discovered that the version was 7.0. I then decided to upgrade but how? I downloaded the new file but the documentation(also the admin guide) on how to remove the old version (it is splitted in MORE then one dir) and to install the new is poor. And also there is no mention if i must do something with php for the pgsql 7.2 because my version is compiled for 7.0. If you can reply please tell me where to find this info or who can i contact. P.S.:sorry for the bed english. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 2+ messages in thread

Read the manual. Red Hat has good documentation. There are dozens of good introduction to Linux articles/HOWTOs/books out there.

To remove it you use the "rpm" command. Or you can just upgrade to the new packaged version using "rpm" as well. > poor. And also there is no mention if i must do something with php for the The PostgreSQL documentation is geared for those installing from source (i.e. compiling). It's not "poor". It's just that you don't understand how things work, but don't be discouraged. Download the new rpm packages for PostgreSQL 7.2.1 from one of the ftp mirrors, then use 'rpm -Uvh package.rpm' to upgrade each of the packages you need. > If you can reply please tell me where to find this info or who can i > contact.
