When using PG4WP to use WordPress with Postgresql as a database backend, you will certainly have a somewhat slower WordPress than when using the native MySQL support.

This is because many SQL queries are rewritten on the fly, which implies some overhead.

For now PG4WP is focused on having WP to just work fine with PostgreSQL and performance is in no way a priority.

Just a note : WP 3.2.1 support is on the way and a new beta will be released soon for testing…

Not necessarily. It’s mostly a matter of personal preference. I find PostgreSQL to be more feature complete and use it on most projects. There are a number of feature and performance comparisons between MySQL and PostgreSQL out there that can be found with a quick Google search. Beware, some of them reference older versions of either database system.

@Rajesh, I would suggest you look at the PG4WP author’s site for installation instructions – http://www.hawkix.net/tag/pg4wp/

Than you very much. I have documented your solution as it worked perfect. The IP address given to me was the same as given to you 192.168.56.1 so perhaps that is universal.

James,

You may want to check your web server logs in order to get more information than the “500 Internal Server Error” message. This doesn’t seem like a problem caused by your use of a VM.

This is great thank you so much for this tutorial I have been searching every where for it. You have saved my life.

However my VM is producing some weird results. I’m running:

Host Machine: Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.5.6
VirtualBox 3.2.0
Guest: Windows XP

one of my sites work dev.curo-consulting.com
but dev.cereno.co.uk isn’t working it tells me that there is a 500 Internal Server error.

Even after a server reboot.

My hosts file looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.56.1 dev.cereno.co.uk dev.curo-consulting.com

Have you ever experienced this?

I did have it like this as well:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.56.1 dev.cereno.co.uk
192.168.56.1 dev.curo-consulting.com

But that didn’t work either

Any Ideas?

I’ve updated my post – the “pg” gem is the most current of the PostgreSQL gems.
