| 12 | psql -U <replace_with_your_admin_user_eg_postgres>; | ||

| 54 | * Using the ##createuser## and ##createdb## programs:((( | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | Make sure that the ##createuser## and ##createdb## programs are in your ##$PATH##. The example below also assumes that the ##postgres## user exists in your setup (this is the default on Linux). | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | Create the ##xwiki## user: | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | {{code}} | ||
| 61 | createuser xwiki -S -D -R -P -Upostgres | ||

| 70 | ))) | ||
| 71 | * Tell XWiki to use Oracle. To do this, edit the ##WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml## file where you have expanded the XWiki WAR file and uncomment the PostgreSQL part. Make sure to review the ##connection.url## property. For example a typical value would be:((( | ||
| 72 | {{code}} | ||
| 73 | <property name="connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/xwiki</property> | ||
| 74 | {{/code}} | ||
