Some of our customers have requested to use the later 8.4.x version of Postgresql instead of the default 8.1 which Cpanel installs and is the latest version they officially support on Centos 5.x. As of this writing Postgresql 9.0 is currently out, but we will not touch on this and it's best to have Centos 6 to run with psql 9.0.
The process of upgrading psql to 8.4.x is actually fairly simple. Just follow these steps:
1. Login as root to your server and run the following commands:
Code:
yum list postgresql84*
This will show you all of the available packages for version 8.4.
2. To install these, run the following:
Code:
yum install -y postgresql84*
3. After the above command is completed, login to WHM and go to SQL Services --> PostgresSQL Config.
4. In the PostgreSQL Config, you will need to click 'Install Config' then 'Yes', 'Create Users' and last but not least create a new password.
5. To be sure the new version is working, restart the Postgresql server within WHM and then run the following command as root:
Code:
psql --version
The command should look something like this:
Code:
psql --version psql (PostgreSQL) 8.4.9 contains support for command-line editing
You are now running the latest PostgreSQL 8.4.9
On another note, here is a few good examples on how to install/upgrade to 9.0:

You can trust your business with AYKsolutions After a horrible experience with my prior host that left me with over 14 hours of downtime, AYKSolutions came in, took care of the transfer completely and made my life easier. When they say their servers are semi-managed, it means they take care of more then most managed server hosting companies. Average ticket response time? 2-5 minutes. One time i n the middle of the night it took 30 minutes. Problems that I create are fixed immediately and they take care of their customers. Artyom is the owner, who is somehow capable of not sleeping. He's always there to take care of everything with a personal touch. 3 AM on a Saturday? Not an issue for AYKSolutions. Trust me, I'm very thorough in researching a company. When it comes to business, you can never be too careful. I trust my business with AYKSolutions
I recently switched to AYK Solutions from Softlayer for my dedicated server requirements. I received a much better specification server at significantly reduced cost from what Softlayer could offer me, with many of the previously 'extra' features at Softlayer included in the base price offered by AYK. The support was second to none, and they were extremely helpful in transferring all of my old server accounts over for no additional fee whatsoever.
