upgrading postgresql to version 8.4 in a Virtualmin server

Has anyone had luck upgrading postgresql to version 8.4 in a Virtualmin server?

I need to upgrade to 8.4 but but if I remove the installed version also removes many packages are dependent on it.

I run virtualmin in Centos 5.6.

Any hint ?

Regards

Howdy,

Yeah, the most recent version of Postgres provided by CentOS 5 is 8.1. And Postgres is a dependency of Virtualmin, so you'll need to have a version of Postgres installed.

If you want to change the version of Postgres you're using, you'd want to install a Postgres RPM.

We can't speak for any of the RPM's outside of what comes with CentOS itself -- but you could look into RPM's at some third party repositories, such as pgrpm:

http://pgrpms.org/

Again, we don't know anything about the RPM's there, but hopefully that gives you a starting place :-)
