configuration problems of postgresql under windows xp

[Constanze Tschritter]

Hiya,

my team and I have to work with postgresql, apache and the umn mapserver for
a student project. The only problem is that not one of us has ever worked
with postgresql and now, after having installed the rc2 Version for windows
we don't know how to configure the software. After searching the whole net
for tips and hints we are still clueless, 'cause everyone just describes how
to configure it under linux. Please don't say we should take linux, 'cause
we can't work with linux because of our project pardners who wanted it to
work under windows.

If someone has some tips, it would really help us.

Many thanks in advance

Conny

Well, the configuration options are in postgresql.conf, as far
as I know. What the options mean and how to set them is
described in the PG docs.

*Tuning* for running on Windows may be a different matter from
*configuring*, depending on what you need to do.

Thei nstaller should have added shortcuts to all the required
configuration files in the start menu. For documentation about what the
different parameters do, make sure you install the documentation and it
should all be there. Or check the developer docs on
[url]http://www.postgresql.org/developer/testing[/url] (the main docs are for 7.4
still). The configuration parameters are teh same on Windows and on
linux/unix.

Hiya Magnus,

thank you very much for your help. I'll be sure to check the developers
docs.
I would have never thought that there are the same configuration parameters
under linux and windows. that's why I never looked twice when I found
something about postgreSQL configuration under linux/unix. It's good to
know.

Thanks again
Conny
