Yes, we had postgresql 7.3 but I installed postgresql 8.3 onto the
rhel3. Do you think its going to work? What's the solution that
involves the least work, considering I'm not the one maintaining these
machines? Do you think it would be simple for the IT person to update
to rhel5 and php5? Its basically just one machine that he would have
to update. Thoughts? Thanks so much for all the feedback.
