Re: PostgreSQL 11 with SSL on Linux

OK thanks, I figured I had something messed up in my thought process.  I will work through these steps and let you know how it goes.

OK, when I went to PostgreSQL to get the rpm file to install I was given:
yum install https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/reporpms/EL-7-x86_64/pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm

I put the file pgdg-redhat-repo-latest.noarch.rpm in my /tmp directory and ran rpm -i on the file.

If I run rpm -qa | grep postgres

I get postgresql-libs-9.2.24-4.el7_8.x86_64

When I run: rpm -ql postgresql-libs-9.2.24-4.el7_8.x86_64 I just get a list of libraries.

I am not an SA, I am more of an engineer and have been working with the PostgreSQL I installed by building it so not really used to RPM. I have used YUM but that was with a connected server.

How do I find all the packages that I need to have to do an install locally?

So when I run rpm -i it says that the package is installed, but I can't find a postgresql directory with all the files and executables.  So what am I missing?

The server stuff is in postgresql11-serverif you're using the community rpms.

Hi,
I've had to do this in the past and I think you probably want to do this:1. connect to a machine that has access to repos2. go here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/3. where it says "Direct RPM Download", click on the "direct download" link4. this takes you here: https://yum.postgresql.org/rpmchart.php5. click on "11  RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux 7 - x86_64" or whatever is the appropriate version you are looking for6. this takes you here: https://yum.postgresql.org/11/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/repoview/7. under "Available Groups", click on the "PostgreSQL Database Server 11 PGDG" link8. which takes you here: https://yum.postgresql.org/11/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/repoview/postgresqldbserver11.group.html9. here, you'll see four packages listed10. click on each, which takes you to a page where the latest package is available11. repeat for all four and download all of the four and copy then to your offline server, so for example, /tmp12. then try and do an rpm -ivh /tmp/<name_of_pkg>, so for example rpm -ivh postgresql11-server-11.8-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64 13. I believe this should place the postgres stuff in /var/lib/pgsql14. additional packages can be downloaded as needed
