You can download a preconfigured package for PostgreSQL support in the Add-On Packages topic.
The fields in http.ini specific to
the PostgreSQL section are shown below:

start up of DWebPro
Accepted values: 0, 1
Daemon Path
DaemonPath
Daemon
Path specifies the path pointing to the PostgreSQL daemon,

PostgreSQL database files reside. Refer to the DWebPro Internal Constants topic
for additional information on paths.
Accepted values: string
|
Our preconfigured PostgreSQL 7.2 package has a limit specific to the data directory (DataDir). This version cannot work if the data directory has a path exceeding 64 characters. This means that the destination directory (DestinationDir) must be shorter than 64 characters. Under Windows 2000/XP/2003, the user's temporary folder is usually located in a long path (for example, C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\) that is 60 characters long. Therefore, use caution when using the ##TEMP## variable. You can instead use ##DWEBPRO_PERSONAL##, which refers to the Documents folder. |

Startup / Shutdown settings
Run Locally
RunLocally
When you use PostgreSQL from CD/DVD,
DWebPro automatically copies some files to the user's file system
to enable PostgreSQL to work correctly. Select the Run Locally option to avoid this copy process.
Note that you may safely select the Run
Locally option only when you run DWebPro from a hard drive
or other writable media. It can be useful to select the
Run Locally option during the
development phase.
