目前最新的CentOS 6.3中，仍然使用的是PostgreSQL 8.4版本。为了满足另一应用系统的需求，必须安装PostgreSQL 9及以上版本。本文将叙述如何使用PostgreSQL官方软件仓库和YUM工具，实现自动安装PostgeSQL 9。我使用的CentOS版本为6.3，该操作方法同样适用于使用CentOS 5, RedHat或者Fedora版本的朋友，只是需要注意下载文件时有对应的版本选择。
1、下载并安装PostgreSQL官方软件仓库
访问http://yum.pgrpms.org/repopackages.php，选择对应的操作系统版本，下载repo rpm文件。对应我的操作系统CentOS 6.3 32位版本，使用wget命令下载，操作如下：
[root@wardking ~]# wget http://yum.pgrpms.org/9.2/redhat/rhel-6-i386/pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpm –2012-10-11 02:52:40– http://yum.pgrpms.org/9.2/redhat/rhel-6-i386/pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpmResolving yum.pgrpms.org… 98.129.198.114Connecting to yum.pgrpms.org|98.129.198.114|:80… connected.HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 200 OKLength: 5328 (5.2K) [application/x-redhat-package-manager]Saving to: pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpm 100%[==============================================================================================================================>] 5,328 24.7K/s in 0.2s 2012-10-11 02:52:42 (24.7 KB/s) – “pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpmâ€
安装软件仓库
[root@wardking ~]# rpm -ivh pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpmwarning: pgdg-centos92-9.2-6.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 442df0f8: NOKEYPreparing… ########################################### [100%] 1:pgdg-centos92 ########################################### [100%]
编辑CentOS-Base.repo，将目前的CentOS仓库中的版本排除
[root@wardking ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

3、初始化数据库并启动
| Empire CMS,phome.net |
安装操作顺利完成后，对数据库进行初始化，然后启动服务
[root@wardking ~]# service postgresql-9.2 initdbInitializing database: [ OK ][root@wardking ~]# service postgresql-9.2 startStarting postgresql-9.2 service: [ OK ]
如果有错误信息出现，检查日志文件 /var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data/pg_log，查找线索
4、 配置工作环境
PostgreSQL数据库操作的默认账户为postgres，其操作目录为/var/lib/pgsql，配置文件.bash_profile中的默认内容为
[ -f /etc/profile ] && source /etc/profilePGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/dataexport PGDATA
以上配置中包括了数据库所在的路径，但是没有可执行命令文件所在的目录，为操作便利，更正如下：
[ -f /etc/profile ] && source /etc/profilePGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/9.1/dataexport PGDATAPATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/pgsql-9.1/binexport PATH
5、设置默认账户postgres的操作密码
[root@wardking ~]# su – postgres-bash-4.1$ psql postgres postgrespsql (9.2.1)Type “help” for help.postgres=# alter user postgres with password ‘postgres’;ALTER ROLEpostgres=#
6、 提升postgreSQL安全
默认配置中，postgreSQL使用明文存储密码，非常不安全，需要修改配置文件，更改密码验证方式为md5
[root@wardking ~]# vi /var/lib/pgsql/9.1/data/pg_hba.conf# Put your actual configuration here# ———————————-## If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more# “host” records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL# listen on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses# configuration parameter, or via the -i or -h command line switches.# TYPE DATABASE USER ADDRESS METHOD# “local” is for Unix domain socket connections onlylocal all all md5# IPv4 local connections:host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5# IPv6 local connections:host all all ::1/128 md5# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the# replication privilege.#local replication postgres peer#host replication postgres 127.0.0.1/32 ident#host replication postgres ::1/128 ident
为了使配置文件生效，必须让postgreSQL重新载入配置，有多种方式可以实现：
第一种方式： 直接使用命令操作
[root@wardking ~]# su – postgres-bash-4.1$ pg_ctl reloadserver signaled-bash-4.1$
第二种方式：切换到postgres用户，通过psql命令，调用pg_reload_conf();
-bash-4.1$ psql postgres postgrespsql (9.1.1)Type “help” for help.postgres=# select pg_reload_conf(); pg_reload_conf—————- t(1 row)postgres=#
第三种方式：切换到postgres用户，同样使用psql命令，但无须登录PostgreSQL控制台
-bash-4.1$ psql postgres postgres -c “select pg_reload_conf();”Password for user postgres: pg_reload_conf—————- t(1 row)-bash-4.1$
允许远程连接PostgreSQL数据库
PostgreSQL的主配置文件postgresql.conf位于目录/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/data，其中CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION段中的配置如下
#——————————————————————————# CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION#—————————————————————————— # – Connection Settings - #listen_addresses = ‘localhost’ # what IP address(es) to listen on; # comma-separated list of addresses; # defaults to ‘localhost’, ‘*’ = all # (change requires restart)#port = 5432 # (change requires restart)
以上默认设置仅接受来自本地(Localhost)的连接，如果需要允许远程主机连接，需要将listen_addresses注释取消，并将localhost更改为*或者指定的网卡IP地址。此处还可以更改默认的监听端口5432
修改完成后，需要重新启动postgresql-9.2系统服务，重新载入配置文件后方可生效。
如果修改该文件导致服务无法启动，可以查看/var/lib/pgsql/9.2/pg_log文件，查找线索进行排错。
重新启动完成后，进入postgres用户控制台，登录数据库操作界面，可以验证更改结果
-bash-4.1$ psqlPassword:psql (9.1.1)Type “help” for help. postgres=# show listen_addresses; listen_addresses—————— *(1 row) postgres=# show port; port—— 5432(1 row) postgres=#
