PostgreSQL Database Creation - OpenShift(3.2)

The creation of the database must be made by the postgres UNIX user, or another UNIX user with the same privileges, on the machine where PostgreSQL is installed or on a machine with a network connection to PostgreSQL. The postgres UNIX user is assumed in this installation.

1. Configure the PostgreSQL database to allow a remote client connection to the database. The working directory is $PGDATA
   

   Edit the pg_hba.conf file to match the settings in install.xml. See Appendix A - PostgreSQL HBA Settings - OpenShift(3.2) for an example.

   When the files have been configured, the PostgreSQL database needs to be restarted.

   

2. Create the PostgreSQL database instance. The working directory is postgres.

   $ source ./postgre_create_instance.sh <PostgreSQL Admin username, default is postgres>

   If no error occurred, the database creation will now be completed and the rest of this section can be ignored.

   Hint!

   When the instance creation script has been executed, there is a log file in the /tmp directory that can be used for troubleshooting. The mz_db.log file contains PostgreSQL responses from the database creation 

      

3. If the script fails: 
   
   Cleanup the system before the next try:
• Start PSQL:
  $ psql
• Remove the Database and Users:
  postgres=# DROP DATABASE mz;
postgres=# DROP USER mzowner;
postgres=# DROP USER mzadmin;
postgres=# \q
