These could help me make a fix if you don’t mind sending them to me (you can replace sensitive data if you want). * If you have no file in this subdir, please check that you have this in your ‘ db.php’ file : define( ‘PG4WP_LOG_ERRORS’, true); * You can send the log files as a compressed archive to pg4wp[at]hawkix.net * I’ll send a modded pg4wp for you to test… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[W3 Total Cache] [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Apparently incompatible with pg4wp (postgres plugin)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-apparently-incompatible-with-pg4wp-postgres-plugin/) * [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-w3-total-cache-apparently-incompatible-with-pg4wp-postgres-plugin/#post-3125639) * This “incompatibility” is effectively due to the fact that the 2 plugins do replace WP’s DB class with a customized one. * I don’t have enough free time for now to dive into this problem, but I think it may be possible to somewhat “chain” pg4wp and W3 Total Cache (by having one load the other). * I’ll try to spend some time on this in the next few weeks * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [PostgreSQL database connection issue](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postgresql-database-connection-issue/) * [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/postgresql-database-connection-issue/#post-2781186) * I didn’t notice your question before because you didn’t post it in PG4WP support forum ([http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postgresql-for-wordpress/support/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/postgresql-for-wordpress/support/)). * The possibility to specify the port on which to connect for the database has been integrated in PG4WP 1.3.0 (released today). * You should upgrade your PG4WP and then you can set the port in the hostname for database connection in WordPress configuration page : `HOSTNAMEorIP:PORT` eg` localhost:3128` * PG4WP officially supports WordPress 3.4 and PostgreSQL 9.1+, don’t hesitate to report any problem. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] [Plugin: PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] Alternative port in conection](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-alternative-port-in-conection/) * Plugin Author [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-alternative-port-in-conection/#post-2808277) * Hi ! * You don’t tell which version of PG4WP you were using, so I assume 1.2.2 (which was the latest stable version when you posted)… * I’ve integrated a similar patch in PG4WP 1.3.0b1 and so the new stable version( released earlier today) has it included 🙂 * Anyway, thank you for your effort, please keep me informed if you have any issue using PG4WP. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] [Plugin: PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] contact form not working-urgent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-contact-form-not-working-urgent/) * Plugin Author [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-contact-form-not-working-urgent/#post-2697260) * PG4WP 1.3.0b1 was published and has support for PostgreSQL 9.1+. * You should test it if you still want to install WordPress with PostgreSQL 9.1 +. * I also changed my contact form to have a better history of contacts. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] [Plugin: PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] Error at WordPress installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-error-at-wordpress-installation/) * Plugin Author [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-error-at-wordpress-installation/#post-2486562) * I published a beta for the upcoming release of PG4WP which is mainly aimed at PostgreSQL 9.1+ support. * You can download this version from the developers page in the plugin directory. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] [Plugin: PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] Error at WordPress installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-error-at-wordpress-installation/) * Plugin Author [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-error-at-wordpress-installation/#post-2486559) * Hi all * mxa5942’s workaround will resolve the installation problem itself, but you’ll encouter problems using WordPress as MySQL quoting is not accepted by PostgreSQL 9.1+ without setting `standard_conforming_strings = off` in your `postgresql. conf` file. * I’m going to work on a fix for this problem in the coming weeks, watch out for the next release 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] [Plugin: PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] contact form not working-urgent](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-contact-form-not-working-urgent/) * Plugin Author [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-contact-form-not-working-urgent/#post-2697254) * Hi ! * Sorry for not answering before, I’ve had quite much work for the last months and I had to suspend PG4WP work. * Chances are that your Worpdress setup can’t complete because PostgreSQL 9.1+ has standard_conforming_strings set to ‘on’ by default in postgresql.conf * For now PG4WP doesn’t officially work with PostgreSQL 9.1+ without setting standard_conforming_strings to ‘off’ (I’m going to work on a workaround in the next weeks). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] [Plugin: PostgreSQL for WordPress (PG4WP)] Error at WordPress installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-error-at-wordpress-installation/) * Plugin Author [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-postgresql-for-wordpress-pg4wp-error-at-wordpress-installation/#post-2486358) * Hi * PG4WP 1.2.2 was not tested yet with WordPress 3.3.x * However, I had reports saying PG4WP 1.2.2 works ok with WP 3.3 but I don’t know if these concern fresh installs or upgrading from a previously working installation. * I think your problem comes from the errors you got when installing. If using PostgreSQL 9.x, this problem may be solved by setting `standard_conforming_strings = off` in your `postgresql.conf` file. * See [this article](http://www.hawkix.net/2011/11/pg4wp-compatibility-with-postgresql-9-1/) for details. * Hope this will help you. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [A question to PostgreSQL database users](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-question-to-postgresql-database-users/) * [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-question-to-postgresql-database-users/#post-2314504) * PG4WP is intended to handle database upgrades correctly. * Although you should do a backup before you run the upgrade (we never know what could go bad), you can run the upgrade. * You’ll get some error messages in your postgresql logs, due to WordPress trying to recreate already existing indexes (WordPress thinks they don’t exist yet), they can be safely ignored. * The Hawkix Blog ([http://www.hawkix.net](http://www.hawkix.net) home of PG4WP) is running the latest release of PG4WP and was upgraded smoothly from WordPress 2.9 to WordPress 3.2.1 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP 3.1 – pg4wp – Cannot redeclare class wpdb](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-31-pg4wp-cannot-redeclare-class-wpdb/) * [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [14 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-31-pg4wp-cannot-redeclare-class-wpdb/page/2/#post-1941657) * Hello * I’m currently updating PG4WP make it fully compatible with WordPress up to version 3.2.1 * I’ve released a beta that works ok on my setup, if you want to give it a try you’ll find a direct link on [http://www.hawkix.net](http://www.hawkix.net). * If upgrading PG4WP from any earlier version, don’t forget to replace the `db. php` file with the one from the `pg4wp/` directory. * Beta 1.2.0b1 should at least have all the issues found in this topic resolved. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [New blog about PostgreSQL support in WordPress among other things](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-blog-about-postgresql-support-in-wordpress-among-other-things/) * Thread Starter [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-blog-about-postgresql-support-in-wordpress-among-other-things/#post-1117535) * PG4WP was recently released in version 1.1.0 and it has full support for WordPress 2.9.2 * Now I’ll be working on improving the code to remove some annoying problems that are due to the current implementation. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [WordPress and PostgreSQL?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-postgresql-1/) * [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-postgresql-1/#post-1006227) * My plugin is almost stable by now, and I use it on my blog every day. * Version 1.0.0 is almost ready and will be released soon, including a bunch of code reorganisation. * Forum: [Your WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/your-wordpress/) In reply to: [New blog about PostgreSQL support in WordPress among other things](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-blog-about-postgresql-support-in-wordpress-among-other-things/) * Thread Starter [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/new-blog-about-postgresql-support-in-wordpress-among-other-things/#post-1117468) * Just a post to inform readers that my plugin is now almost stable and works with WP versions 2.5.1 up to WP 2.8 * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [WordPress and PostgreSQL?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-postgresql-1/) * [hawk__](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hawk_/) * (@hawk_) * [17 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-and-postgresql-1/#post-1006222) * Hello * I made a hack a year ago that I burried out some days ago. * If you wish to try it, I’d love to get feedback about it. You can download it from [http://www.hawkix.net](http://www.hawkix.net). * It works out of the box to install a basic WordPress Blog on a PostgreSQL database, my blog works with it. * My blog is written in French only for now, I’ll set up an multi-lingual version soon. * If you try it, just be warned that : – when I made it, the plugin was a quick and dirty hack intended just to be able to install WordPress on a PostgreSQL- only development computer – I don’t think it is “production-quality” yet, but I hope to make it so – it works with a basic WordPress install, I don’t know if any plugin would work OK with it * My idea is to make it possible to have a maintainable alternative to MySQL for WordPress, and PostgreSQL is just the first one.
