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. 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
|
|
|
|
4. Browse to the phpPgAdmin installation using a web browser. You might
|
|
need cookies enabled for phpPgAdmin to work.
|
|
|
|
5. 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.
