<span id="id1"></span><h1>3.6.2. PostgreSQL<a class="headerlink" href="#postgresql" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Test which version of PostgreSQL you have installed with:</p>
<p><strong class="command">psql -V</strong></p>
<p>You need PostgreSQL version 8.03.0000 or higher.</p>
<p>If you install PostgreSQL manually rather than from a package, make sure the
server is started when the machine boots.</p>
<div class="section" id="add-a-user">
<span id="posgresql-add-user"></span><h2>3.6.2.1. Add a User<a class="headerlink" href="#add-a-user" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You need to add a new user to PostgreSQL for the Bugzilla
application to use when accessing the database. The following instructions
assume the defaults in <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">localconfig</span></code>; if you
changed those, you need to modify the commands appropriately.</p>
<p>On most systems, to create a user in PostgreSQL, login as the root user, and
then switch to being the postgres (Unix) user:</p>
<p><strong class="command">su - postgres</strong></p>
<p>As the postgres user, you then need to create a new user:</p>
<p><strong class="command">createuser -U postgres -dRSP bugs</strong></p>
<p>When asked for a password, provide one and write it down for later reference.</p>
<p>The created user will not be a superuser (-S) and will not be able to create
new users (-R). He will only have the ability to create databases (-d).</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="permit-access">
<span id="postgresql-access"></span><h2>3.6.2.2. Permit Access<a class="headerlink" href="#permit-access" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Edit the file <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">pg_hba.conf</span></code> which is
usually located in <code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">/var/lib/pgsql/data/</span></code>. In this file,
you will need to add a new line to it as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">host</span> <span class="nb">all</span> <span class="n">bugs</span> <span class="mf">127.0</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="mf">0.1</span> <span class="mf">255.255</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="mf">255.255</span> <span class="n">md5</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This means that for TCP/IP (host) connections, allow connections from
'127.0.0.1' to 'all' databases on this server from the 'bugs' user, and use
password authentication ('md5') for that user.</p>
<p>Now, you will need to stop and start PostgreSQL fully. (Do not use any
'restart' command, due to the possibility of a change to
<code class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">postgresql.conf</span></code>.)</p>
