Manual talk:PostgreSQL

I did this once; if this is the right page to read about why the postgreSQL install of M-W is complaining about tsearch, it might be nice if it had a link to ... where did I find it? on postgresql.org I think ... hafta go back through that process I guess.

assuming you have already created the database and the user that will operate the wiki, then you have to, as a suitably priviledged DB-user, issue the command:

psql -U psql wikidb < /usr/share/postgresql/contrib/tsearch2.sql

assuming that the SQL command is located as above, in /usr/share/.... however the wiki dbuser needs also to be priviledged to access/use the newly created tsearch2 DB tables.

then when you hit 'install mediawiki' it actually works, and is using your postgres server instead of needing mysql
