[postgis-users] does postgreSQL 8.0 work on xp sp2?

[TECHER Jean David]

Hi Paul

Did you try to install PG+PostGIS+Geos+Proj manually???

I don't know if it could be a good and enough test for you but if you want
you can download a binary distribution at:

http://postgresqlwin32.free.fr/download/postgresql800beta3/pg-800b3-win32.zi
p

it was built for pg800b3/postgis-0.9.0/geos2.0..0/proj4.48

if U want:

unizp it at C:\

U will have C:\pg-800b3-win32 with bin, lib and so on

Create environment variables

PGHOME = C:\pg-800b3-win32

PGHOST = localhost

PGDATA = C:\pg-800b3-win32\data

PGPORT = 5432

Add at the beginning of your PATH

PATH = C:\pg-800b3-win32\bin;C:\pg-800b3-win32\lib;

reboot your machine and log in with as user without administrative
privileges and wth a password

>From a  DOS windows prompt do

initdb --encoding=SQL_ASCII -A trust

start/stop PG with

pg_ctl -o -i start/stop

U can create a POstGIS DB by doing

createdb MyDB

createlang plpgsql MyDB

psql -d MyDB -c ''\i c:/pg-800b3-win32/share/postgresql/lwpostgis.sql''

psql -d MyDB -c ''\i
c:/pg-800b3-win32/share/postgresql/spatial_ref_sys.sql''
