phpPgAdmin - Installation

  Preface:
    phpPgAdmin can administer a whole PostgresSQL-server (needs a super-user) 
    but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need
    a properly set up a PostgresSQL-user who can read/write only the desired
    database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the 
    PostgresSQL manual.

  Quick Install:
    [1] Untar the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
        tar xvf phpPgAdmin_x.x.x.tar.gz
    [2] Open the file config.inc.php in your favorite editor and change
        the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
        Have a look at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.
    [3] It is recommended that you protect the directory in which
        you installed phpPgAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet), 
        if you are not using adv_auth.
    [4] Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php
        in your browser. phpPgAdmin should now display a welcome screen 
        and your databases or a login screen, depending on your 
		authentication method.

  Installation notes:
  + It is highly suggested that you create a user to use in 
    your config.inc.php file.  This user should have select access on the 
	pg_user table and no other permissions.
  + Be sure to protect the phpPgAdmin-directory. By default, it is not 
    protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and 
    especially not by search-engines. Although there is a "nofollow" 
    directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't 
    care about that and still follow the links on the page. 
    Think of AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database"

  + PHP should be configured to have magic_quotes=on. In the module
    version of PHP this can also be set on a per-directory base with 
    php_magic_quotes_gpc on in an .htaccess file or in your Apache's
    access.conf.
  + If you don't use the extension ".php" for your scripts, you can use
    the bundled script "extchg.sh" to modify phpPgAdmin (or any other script)
    to work with a different extension. Beware though, that currently changing 
    the extension from .html to something other won't work (it'd change all 
    "string".htmlspecialchars() constructs).
