Postgresql is not showing up in the initial configuration screen

Well, it must be installed und set up on the server to show up. Most probably not the case in your environment.

I have the postgres server installed and running fine on the same server where mediawiki is running. But on the config page postgres DB type i snot available

And PHP is also compiled to support postgres? Hmm, if this is the case I cannot tell what the issue could be.

I did not do any compilation yet. just installed postgres and extracted media wiki tar. Please let me know what are the next steps to point to the postgres DB

Now the postgresql option is coming up, but am getting

"Cannot connect to database wikidb: DB connection error: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: missing "=" after "jdbc//wikidb" in connection info string"

i changed value in DatabasePostgres.php " $this->mConn = pg_connect( "jdbc/wikidb" );"

Sorry, this is now out of my "expertise". Probably you should give the mailing list a shot. Do not forget to state the versions of MediaWiki, PHP and PostgreSQL you are trying to use.
