Let's say you have a Postgres database named `nominatim_it` on server `your-server.com` and port `5432`. The Postgres username is `postgres`. You can edit `settings/local.php` and point Nominatim to it.
- pgsql://postgres@your-server.com:5432/nominatim_it
+ pgsql:host=your-server.com;port=5432;user=postgres;dbname=nominatim_it
-No data import necessary or restarting necessary.
+No data import or restarting necessary.
If the Postgres installation is behind a firewall, you can try
inside the virtual machine. It will map the port to `localhost:9999` and then
you edit `settings/local.php` with
- @define('CONST_Database_DSN', 'pgsql://postgres@localhost:9999/nominatim_it');
+ @define('CONST_Database_DSN', 'pgsql:host=localhost;port=9999;user=postgres;dbname=nominatim_it');
To access postgres directly remember to specify the hostname, e.g. `psql --host localhost --port 9999 nominatim_it`
