I just wanted to add to my previous post I've got the system up and running.
Environment: Windows XP, Apache 1.3.23, Php 4.3 RC2, PostGreSQL beta4 native windows build
Installation was fairly easy:
1. read the readme.txt
2. edit the setenv.bat as described in readme
3. run 'initdb'
all execs are in /bin
help is accessed like <command> --help
4. Start the psql deamon - you may want to create a batch file like
'D:\postgres_beta4\bin\postmaster -h localhost -D D:/postgres_beta4/data'
--deamon should be up and running now--
You can login into a shell from a console like
'psql -h localhost -d <username>'
You must load the postgresql extension by editing the php.ini and restarting apache in order to access psql with php.
And one final not: when running
$dbconn = pg_connect ("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=$dbname user=$user");
remember that $user and or $dbname is CASESENSITIVE.
Oh yeah, I created the data dir manually - don't know whether that was necessary
