Now, hold on, before we continue and executing the database start command, there are two configuration files that requires some changes or at least your attention: pg_hba.conf and nf. $ /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/initdb -D /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/data $ sudo chown -R postgres:daemon /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/dataĪs user postgres, create and initialize the database structure: $ sudo chown -R root:daemon /Library/PostgreSQL $ sudo mkdir /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/data $ sudo make install Initialize PostgreSQL There is no need to create the prefix directory, the install process will create it. configure -prefix=/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4 -with-bonjour append /Groups/postgres GroupMembership postgres Building and InstallingĮxtract the source you downloaded earlier and navigate to the source directory: append /Users/postgres RecordName postgres create /Users/postgres RealName "PostgreSQL" create /Users/postgres UserShell /bin/bash create /Users/postgres NFSHomeDirectory /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4 append /Groups/postgres RecordName postgresĮxecute the following command to create the user account: create /Groups/postgres PrimaryGroupID 226 Create the postgres user accountĮxecute the following to create postgres group:
System accounts usually have id values below 500, pick an unused user and group id values below 500, for this example I will use id 226 for both the user and group id. list /Users UniqueID | awk '' | sort -ug To create a system account on Mac OS X, we will use dscl (Directory Service command line utility), first we need to find which user and group unique id’s are available, execute the following commands to print the existing used user and group id values on your system:
Before we start building and installing PostgreSQL, we need to create a system user account, this user postgres will run the related PostgreSQL database server processes and own the files used by PostgreSQL. Install and Configure PostgreSQLĭownload the required PostgreSQL version source from PostgreSQL download page. While the post is written for PostgreSQL 8.4 and Mac OS X 10.6, the methods described here should work on other PostgreSQL versions and also on Mac OS X 10.5.
