Subject: Help on setting Postgres client
I have setup a Postgres server (8.2.4) on Solaris 10, for now in the
global zone, with FS :
/pg_db
/pg_log
/pg_data
Now I need to set up a client in a non-global zone on the same machine
or on anoter machine.
Not much luck so far.
What I did:
===========
- on the server in $PGDATA/pg_hub.conf I added a line for the client
host all all 192.XXX.XX.XXX trust
- On the client I tried:
psql sta
psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
In my understanding:
- the data and the log file should exist on the server only.
- I should have postgres configuration file somewhere on the client to
at least specify Postgres server ip (PGHOSTTADDR and/or PGHOST), or this
should be set different way?
Questions:
==========
- where to find steps for setting up postgres client?
- what directories and files should I have on the client side?
- should I have local log file on the client?
- how to start postgres on the client - should I specify $PGDATA?
- Should $PGDATA be shared, i.e. mounted by the client, or I have choice
not to? I actually prefer not to be mounted.
- I read that for the client side I should have only 2 of the packages -
SUNWpostgr-libs and SUNWpostgr. All 24 packges for postgres are there -
should I remove the rest?
- where to specify PGHOSTTADDR and/or PGHOST?
Thanks in advance,
Nina
Any practical advices
