Step 2: Configure the PostgreSQL server parameters

Subscribe to Syndicate
When you are able to connect to the database using Theatre Manager, it's time to tune some of the parameters for PostgresSQL that are specific to your machine and setup. On a Mac, this needs to be done with VI under the Postgres user account.

The general steps are:

  • Edit the pg_hba.conf file to indicate which IP addresses may talk to the database server
  • Edit the postgresql.conf file to adjust some memory settings for performance
An easy way to determine key config parameters is to use pgtune and paste the results at the bottom of the postgresql.conf file (don't forget to add ssl=on and Bonjour=on to the results).
