How to install postgres 8.4 on Debian 5 (lenny)

Eric Bartels — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 13:28:23 +0000

Because I didn’t found this information in one place I’m writing this quick “guide” on how to install PostgreSQL 8.4.x on Debian 5.x “lenny”.

Debian lenny stable packages are bundled with Postgres 8.3.x but thanks to Debian Backports the newer Postgres version is available for lenny.

Simply do it

Add the backports-sources (/etc/apt/sources.list) and update (apt-get update)

deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free

Install postgres

apt-get -t lenny-backports install postgresql-8.4

Server Type “complete” is missing when installing Office SharePoint Server 2007 on Windows 7 or Windows Vista

I really like Windows 7! As I am a SharePoint developer I was happy that (thanks to Bamboo) one can install SharePoint on Vista and Windows 7.

After I figured out why my first installation try went wrong I hit another strange issue.

When installing MOSS you have to choose which role your server is in. As I want to develop with BDC, Excel Services, Search Service I need to create a small farm (SQL Server running on the same machine in this case). But during the setup the “Complete Server Type” was missing!

Where are you my PDC?

I like development. So this installation took place on my home-machine which is not inside a domain.

A little while ago I installed MOSS successfully on Vista including the “complete role”. So one difference was the absence of a domain-controller …

Conclusion

After my machine became a member of a domain (and a reboot) the “Complete Server Type Role” became available during installation! SharePoint development on Windows 7 x64 is pure fun …
