Installing or Updating PostgreSQL on Your cPanel & WHM Server
cPanel & WHM works with PostgreSQL 7.3.x or later.
Using the command line interface, log into your server as root.
If you have PostgreSQL 7.2.x installed, back up your databases using pg_dumpall or some other method. If you have databases you wish to keep, move your existing PostgreSQL data directory somewhere else by, for example, typing the following command.
mv /var/lib/pgsql /var/lib/pgsql.old
To begin the installation process:
On a CentOS or RedHat system, use the following script:
This script executes yum install postgresql (and related RPMs).
Script for installing Parallels Installer binary from a network location.
This sample script is applicable in cases when the Parallels Installer binary is obtained directly from a network location (the sample URL http://example.com/type_parallels_installer_name_here should be substituted with a valid installer download link).
#!/bin/sh
SERVERS_LIST=”node1.example.com node2.example.com”
for current_server in $SERVERS_LIST; do
ssh -f root@$current_server ‘wget http://example.com/type_parallels_installer_name_here -o parallels_installer;chmod 755 ./parallels_installer;./parallels_installer –source http://updates.example.com/ –target /tmp/panel –select-release-id PLESK_10_0_0 –install-component base –install-component postgresql –install-component spamassassin –notify-email admin@serverbuddies.com’
done
