How to connect Postgresql 9.0 to an existing Webmin

If you installed Postgresql 9.0 or upgraded Postgresql to the latest version in a Linux system that has an existing Webmin application, you need to update Webmin using Module configuration for Postgresql.

Postgresql 9.0 installs files in directories different from its earlier versions.'

Here is a checklist of what need to be changed using Webmin's module configuration:

Path to psql command: /usr/pgsql-9.0/bin/psql

Command to start PostgreSQL: if [ -r /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb ]; then /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb start; else /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql-9.0 start; fi

Command to stop PostgreSQL: if [ -r /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb ]; then /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb stop; else /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql-9.0 stop; fi

Command to initialize PostgreSQL: if [ -r /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb ]; then /etc/rc.d/init.d/rhdb start; else /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql-9.0 initdb ; /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql-9.0 start; fi

Path to postmaster PID file: /var/run/postmaster-9.0.pid

Paths to host access config file: /var/lib/pgsql/9.0/data/pg_hba.conf

Default backup repository directory: /var/lib/pgsql/9.0/backups

Restart Webmin.

A fresh installation of Webmin however, automatically recognizes an existing Postgresql 9.0 and adjusts the Postgres paths in the initial module configuration, so the steps listed above are no longer necessary.
