RE: Reconfiguring active PostgreSQL instance

This is on Linux. It is a custom install. We don't use RPMs but the tar ball of the binaries. This is why we have the config file when we create the software.

The path looks like it's a very unconventional installation. Usually, it should be something like /usr/local/... if it's on a unixoide system.

Maybe it's a Mac. This should be mentioned in the question.

Hi Natalie,

It looks like the extension is not properly installed.

Should I copy the control file over from the contrib directory?

We provide a PostgreSQL instance that we configure ourselves. An application is now needing the uuid-ossp extension which requires the -with-uuid=ossp flag added to the configuration.

So what happens when you execute create extension?
