/etc/init.d/postgresql start

Initializing
database: [ OK ]

Starting postgresql service: [ OK ]

STEP 4:  Create
configuration template

Create template directory

#
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates/var/lib/pgsql/data

# mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data

Copy original config
file into template directory

#
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf /etc/e-smith/templates/var/lib/pgsql/data

#
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf /etc/e-smith/templates/var/lib/pgsql/data

#
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data

#
cp /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data

STEP 5:  Modify
configuration files

Edit postgresql.conf

#
pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

Modify line 26
to accept TCP/IP connection

Before modification you have :

#tcpip_socket = false

After modification you should have :

tcpip_socket = true

Save the file (CTRL o) and exit(CTRL x)

Edit pg_hba.conf

#
pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

at the end of the
file there is

local
all all ident sameuser

change that line for

#local
all all ident sameuser

local all all trust

host all all [IP_LOCAL] [MASK] trust

host all all 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 reject

IP_LOCAL have to been
replace by your IP

MASK have to been remplace by your subnet mask

STEP 6:  Expand postgres template


#
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf

# /sbin/e-smith/expand-template /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf

STEP 7:  Restart
postgresQL



/etc/init.d/postgresql
stop

Stopping
postgresql service: [ OK ]

/etc/init.d/postgresql start

Starting
postgresql service: [ OK ]

STEP 8:  Testing
access to postgresQL

Connect with postgres
user

#
su - postgres

Create a new DB
test

#
createdb postgrestest

Create a test user
and return with root user

#
createuser -A -D jesuistest

# exit

Connect to PostgresQL

#
psql postgrestest-h [HOSTNAME] -U jesuistest

HOSTNAME is to replace
with your localhost name

Result sould sound
like :

Welcome
to psql 7.4.2, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.
