Create database with PostgreSQL
The database must be created with UTF-8 (Unicode) encoding.
1. CREATE DATABASE USER
This step is only necessary if you don't already have a user setup (e.g. by your host) or you want to create new user for use with Drupal only. The following command creates a new user named "username" and asks for a password for that user:
createuser --pwprompt --encrypted --no-adduser --no-createdb username
If everything works correctly, you'll see a "CREATE USER" notice.
2. CREATE THE DRUPAL DATABASE
This step is only necessary if you don't already have a database setup (e.g. By your host) or you want to create new database for use with Drupal only. The following command creates a new database named "databasename", which is owned by previously created "username":
createdb --encoding=UNICODE --owner=username databasename
If everything works correctly, you'll see a "CREATE DATABASE" notice.
Corrected PG commands
Those commands are from a shell prompt, I guess.
From inside psql, you would use:
create user username with password 'whatever' nocreateuser nocreatedb;and
create database with owner=username encoding='UNICODE';Editing sites/default/default.settings.php
change the line:
$db_url = 'mysql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
to
$db_url = 'pgsql://username:password@localhost/databasename';
