Notes

Note: All of the commands on this page must be run as root.

Operating System

  • Basic Debian 5.0 "lenny" install - You will not need the desktop applications group.

Set the System Locale

The locale needs to be set correctly for the database. It is easiest to set it at the beginning of the installation.

  • Set the locale correctly -
    • For the US, generate both en_US and en_US.UTF-8, but (IMPORTANT) pick en_US as the default...
  dpkg-reconfigure locales

Verify the correct locale is set

  • Check your /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf for the lc_ lines. If they are set to "= 'en_US.UTF-8'"...
  • The postgresql cluster will need to be dropped and re-initialized
pg_dropcluster 8.3 main --stop
pg_createcluster --locale en_US 8.3 main
  • Don't forget to restart postgresql
/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start
