I don't know the rpm builds you're using; the Debian packages allow configuring two instances on two different ports AFAIK. Possibly the rpm installation do, too. Even if not: hacking up a 2nd start script which runs postgres against a different data directory / config file should be quite trivial.
The situation is midway between here: you do have to hack up the startup scripts a bit to get more than one server running with an RPM install, but the changes are not too terrible. There's a sample and article about it at http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/en/2010/05/install-multiple-postgresql-servers-redhat-linux.html
You are correct that this is much easier on Debian. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.2ndQuadrant.us -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
