# /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.3 initdb

In some cases above commands doesn't work, Then use following command.

# /usr/pgsql-9.3/bin/postgresql93-setup initdb

Above command will take some time to initialize PostgreSQL first time. PGDATA environment variable contains path of data directory.

PostgreSQL data directory Path: /var/lib/pgsql/9.3/data/

Start PostgreSQL service using following command.

# service postgresql-9.3 start

Setup PostgreSQL service to auto start on system boot.

# chkconfig postgresql-9.3 on

Verify PostgreSQL Installation

After completing, we have installed postgres 9.3 on server, Let do a basic test to verify that installation completed successfully. To verify switch to postgres user.

# su - postgres

Use psql command to access PostgreSQL prompt with admin privileges.

$ psql

psql (9.3.1)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=#

Congratulation’s! You have successfully installed PostgreSQL Server.

CREATE DATABASE canvas_production ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER canvas;
CREATE DATABASE canvas_queue_production ENCODING 'UTF8' OWNER canvas;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE canvas_production to canvas;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE canvas_queue_production to canvas;

Passenger Configuration file

Edit the passenger configuration

# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/passenger.conf

Enter the Below entry to file

# http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#_configuring_phusion_passenger
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.29
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/local/bin/ruby
PassengerDefaultUser canvasuser
# enable "high performance mode" which is incompatible with some apache modules
# such as mod_rewrite -- we don't think we need those, so this takes some load off httpd for each request
PassengerHighPerformance on
# Increase the log-level a bit while we get familiar with Passenger
PassengerLogLevel 1
# Set idle timeouts to 0 so that all Rails apps stick around
RailsAppSpawnerIdleTime 0
RailsFrameworkSpawnerIdleTime 0
PassengerPoolIdleTime 0
# Related: Minimum/maximum number of instances to start *once the application has been accessed*
PassengerMaxPoolSize 10
# Settings below here are only supported on Passenger 3.0 and above
PassengerMinInstances 2
# PreStart URLs. Passenger will "ping" this/these URL(s) to invoke the apps when Apache starts
# (note, Passenger internally replaces the host part of the URL with 'localhost', but the URL must match the VirtualHost)
PassengerPreStart 192.241.217.62

Apache Virtual-host Configuration

Edit the file

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Enter the configuration

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-4.0.29/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
