phpPgAdmin Installation Guide
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Unpack your download
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you've downloaded a tar.gz package, execute from a terminal:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gunzip phpPgAdmin-*.tar.gz
|
||
|
|
tar -xvf phpPgAdmin-*.tar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Else, if you've downloaded a tar.bz2 package, execute from a terminal:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
bunzip2 phpPgAdmin-*.tar.bz2
|
||
|
|
tar -xvf phpPgAdmin-*.tar
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Else, if you've downloaded a zip package, execute from a terminal:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
unzip phpPgAdmin-*.zip
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Configure phpPgAdmin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
edit phpPgAdmin/conf/config.inc.php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you mess up the configuration file, you can recover it from the
|
||
|
|
config.inc.php-dist file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. If you run your PHP installation in safe mode, in order that the database
|
||
|
|
dump feature can work correctly, you need to set the 'safe_mode_allowed_env_vars'
|
||
|
|
php.ini variable to include the PGPASSWORD and PGUSER environmental variables
|
||
|
|
and the safe_mode_exec_dir to include /usr/bin (or wherever the pg_dump
|
||
|
|
binaries are found).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
eg. safe_mode_allowed_env_vars = PHP_,PG
|
||
|
|
safe_mode_exec_dir = /usr/bin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Given that you usually don't want to allow everything in /usr/bin to
|
||
|
|
be executed, you might want to copy the pg_dump and pg_dumpall utilities
|
||
|
|
to a directory by themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, you will need to ensure that your 'pg_dump' and 'pg_dumpall' utilities
|
||
|
|
are executable by the PHP process, if you want dump support in phpPgAdmin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Lastly, if you run phpPgAdmin in safe mode, very long running imports,
|
||
|
|
exports and transactions may time out and be aborted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Ensure the statistics collector is enabled in PostgreSQL. phpPgAdmin will
|
||
|
|
display table, index performance, and usage statistics if you have enabled
|
||
|
|
the PostgreSQL statistics collector. While this is normally enabled by
|
||
|
|
default, to ensure it is running, make sure the following lines in your
|
||
|
|
postgresql.conf are uncommented:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
track_activities
|
||
|
|
track_counts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Browse to the phpPgAdmin installation using a web browser. You might
|
||
|
|
need cookies enabled for phpPgAdmin to work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. IMPORTANT - SECURITY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PostgreSQL by default does not require you to use a password to log in.
|
||
|
|
We STRONGLY recommend that you enable md5 passwords for local connections
|
||
|
|
in your pg_hba.conf, and set a password for the default superuser account.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the large number of phpPgAdmin installations that have not set
|
||
|
|
passwords on local connections, there is now a configuration file
|
||
|
|
option called 'extra_login_security', which is TRUE by default. While
|
||
|
|
this option is enabled, you will be unable to log in to phpPgAdmin as
|
||
|
|
the 'root', 'administrator', 'pgsql' or 'postgres' users and empty passwords
|
||
|
|
will not work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once you are certain you have properly secured your database server, you
|
||
|
|
can then disable 'extra_login_security' so that you can log in as your
|
||
|
|
database administrator using the administrator password.
