Run Postgres Installer

Subscribe to Syndicate

Do not do this step if you elected to let the Theatre Manager Postgres installer automatically install Postgres for you.

Only reference these instructions if you are running the actual Postgres installer from the Postgres web site manually.

Accept all the defaults on the screens that follow except the last one that references 'stackbuilder'.

Before starting the install, please check that the computer date and timezone settings are correct. Failure to do so may cause postgres to think it is in a different timezone.

To install PostGres on another drive instead of the C: drive, click the Browse button and select another drive.

  • If you change this location, you must also change the backupTM.bat files later to refer to the other drive.
  • If you changed the install location to D:\BoxOffice, this would have already changed for you in this window

Be aware that the standard install location ignores the 32 or 64 bit version of the operating system.

you should always install to C:\Program Files\PostgeSQL\

Enter a hardened ' Account Password' for the postgres user. If you do not supply one, we will generate one automatically. However, if this is a demo. In that case, please pick a user password that you remember - we suggest 'Master'.

For a purchased version of Theatre Manager, this will be set up for you by your trainer who will use a specific AMS password for this server that should not be changed.

Click Next

Leave the Port Number as 5432 (if you change the standard port, you will also have to change it in Theatre Manager login window)

Click Next

Leave both these settings as shown.

You will need to wait for a bit while the database server is installed

Uncheck the 'Launch Stackbuilder at Exit' setting. There are no additional modules to install into your database at this time.

At this time, the database should have installed successfully and should be runnning.
