Release Notes
|
|
 |
|
 |
 |
|
Phineus makes use of the free third
party Database PostgreSQL to store data and
settings.
This allows data to be backed easily, and enables the
rapid installation of new schemas and settings.
PostgreSQL can be downloaded here.
After downloading, unzip the files into a directory
of your choice. Then, run the file named postgresql-8.2.msi.

language, Click next twice and proceed to the

should read these notes for any issues that you

next. |

The installer
options screen displays the default options for
PostgreSQL. The standard options are sufficient
for Phineus and we recommend you accept the defaults
by clicking 'Next' |

Service Configuration |
|
| |

|
Postgres requires
the creation of a local user account in order
to run. This requires that you, or the person
installing PostgreSQL has administrator access
to the PC on which the install is being performed.
If you do not have administrator access, or are
not sure if you do, check with your local Systems
Administrator, as they should be able to help. |
 |
| |
|
The default values selected by PostgreSQL for
Service Name, Account domain (which will be your
computer's name) and Account name are perfect
for Phineus, however, you should provide a password
for the account.
This password should
be something that you remember and should conform
to the requirements of passwords on your local
area network (so if your network requires a minimum
password length of 8 characters, then the postgres
account will also require this). Should
you enter a password that does not meet your
network requirements the install will rollback
and you will need to start again.
Once you have provided a memorable password,
press next to continue.
NOTE: If the installer prompts you
to create the user please click 'Yes'

See screenshot , all the
standard settings are appropriate, other than
for the Superuser name, which is the login name
you will use to access the data stored by Phineus.
This should be changed
from its default value to root as shown
in the screenshot. You can then supply a password
(of any length) and finally select Next to continue
with the installation. |
