Homebrew postgres for mac os#

I am pointing the passenger_root directive to the passenger root.(If there are more of me, I'm more productive, right?) You'll need to comment this line out or change to your user. You don't have to do this, but I like to have the processes running as me. I run it as my user ( staff is my group).User samsoffes staff worker_processes 1 error_log logs/error. If you don't want to do it that way (I highly recommend doing it the above way), you can just run this command to install homebrew. Install Homebrew and follow the steps in the wiki about not sudoing when installing RubyGems. This probably goes without saying, but you'll need Xcode installed to do all of this. It looks like a lot, but it's really quite simple. I tried to keep it as simple and clear as possible with lots of examples. Here are the steps to get all of this going. (I do plan on writing a Preference Pane for doing for this setup eventually.) I also really wanted to start using PostgreSQL instead of SQLite since all of my stuff is hosted on Heroku and that's what they're running. I was using the built-in Apache with Passenger Preference Pane, which was pretty cool, but I really like Nginx, so I switched. When I noticed the Nginx (a sweet open source web server that is way better than Apache) had a -with-passenger option (which is also way awesome), I figured I'd give it a shot. The 'rarely sudo' mentality is also pretty great. I really like not having to worry about dependencies and such when installing.

Homebrew postgres for mac os#

Lately I have been playing with Homebrew, an awesome package manager for Mac OS X. This isn't a horrible approach, but definitely more complicated than I like to have things. Update 03/03/12: Nowadays, I recommend using Foreman or Pow.
