[Tutorial] How to add another PostgreSQL version

[leokhoa]

Note: You may need to install VC Redist 2013 (64-bit): https://sf.net/projects/laragon/files/addon/vc_redist.x64.2013.exe

With Laragon 3, adding PostgreSQL is very easy.

1. Download PostgreSQL (64-bit zip):
   https://get.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-9.6.3-1-windows-x64-binaries.zip

---

2. Extract the downloaded to: {LARAGON_ROOT}\bin\postgresql\postgresql-9.6.3-1-windows-x64

C:\laragon
-- bin
   -- postgresql
      -- postgresql-9.6.3-1-windows-x64
         -- bin
         -- include
         -- lib
         -- .............

---

3. Select the new version at: Laragon Menu > PostgreSQL > Version > postgresql-9.6.3-1-windows-x64

Very easy huh. That's all forks!

Note: When PostgreSQL is added to Laragon this way, it is also portable.

Hi,
I installed Postgresql, as you advised.
I had Postgresql installed in my PC before installing Laragon and Postgresql.

Problems:

1. The installation process had no problem.
2. Start Using it:
   2.1 Menu > PostgreSQL > Version > postgresql-9.6.3-1-windows-x64),
   2.2 Menu > PostgreSQL > start PostgreSQL
   Here encountered problem. Pop up window says: error .. waiting for server to start
   2.3 Starting the server:
   Menu > PostgreSQL > pgAdmin (pgAdmin Start + start the server)
   2.4 Result: Problem remain the same.

I tried the other way:

1. Start server
2. Start PostgreSQL
   Result: remain the same (Pop up window says: error .. waiting for server to start)

Can you help how to solve this problem?

Thanks.

If you see an error "waiting for server to start" you should check PostgreSQL port in Menu > Preferences... > Services & Ports.
Restart if needed and the error should be gone.

I put it there even if it's an old thread, it's still quite visible on search engines.

I had this issue as well. If you're already running Postgres on your Windows machine then the ports might conflict. After changing the port to something other than 5432 it seemed to have fixed it.
