I'm just setting up a (debian lenny) vps for a client, and trying to remove postgres. Is there any way I can do this without losing virtualmin? I really don't want to run 2 RDBMSes ): Cheers, Steve -- Steve Holdoway <st...@gr...> http://www.greengecko.co.nz MSN: st...@gr...

I really don't want to run 2 RDBMSes ): Sure .. what I'd recommend (in Virtualmin) is : 1) Go to System Settings -> Features and Plugins, and disable the PostgreSQL feature. 2) Go to Webmin -> System -> Software Packages, search for "postgres" and remove all matching packages. - Jamie |

Hi Jamie, I tried that ( well I must admit to using apt in the first instance, but I followed your instructions this time ). Failed to uninstall libpg-perl : dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libpg-perl: virtualmin-base depends on libpg-perl; however: Package libpg-perl is to be removed. dpkg: error processing libpg-perl (--remove): dependency problems - not removing Errors were encountered while processing: libpg-perl It needs trying to remove virtualmin-base which is a bad thing I guess!

Removing virtualmin-base is not a terrible thing. It's mildly bad, but most of the work it had to do has already been done. The only negative would be if we roll new dependencies into the stack (say, a new theme with a dependency on some extra Perl modules and an extra Webmin module; which is actually going to happen in a few weeks), you won't get those dependencies and new theme automatically. You'd have to install them manually for the first time. Oh, and you'd have to remember to *never* install virtualmin-base again, without taking extreme caution to make sure postinstall scripts are not run during install, as it would revert many of your configurations back to their original defaults without warning, and in probably broken ways. But, uninstalling it is fine, and will not break anything.

OK, I'm not up for that... I do things like that on my own server, but my customers aren't going to pay for the extra effort it takes! I also understand why the requirements are there. I take it that it's perfectly safe to just shut down postgres and leave it switched off?

Yes, as long as you aren't super-low on disk space, you could just shut PostgreSQL down instead.. On 29/Oct/2009 00:58 Steve Holdoway <st...@gr...> wrote .. > OK, I'm not up for that...
