• Geoserver For Windows
• Geoserver 2.8.3 Download For Mac

The GeoServer team is pleased to announce the release of. This is a beta release, focused on making our wicket update available for testing, and trying out our release process to ensure we have not broken anything. Beta releases are intended for public feedback and are not recommended for production use. Download are available (, and ). Our mac dmg is late to the party, we will update the blog post when it arrives. Highlights:.

This release requires Java 8. We have identified one and may need to adjust our roadmap based on your testing and feedback. Documentation has a grouping service reference together. Services that are an optional install (such as CSW and WPS) have been brought into a so you can easily see what GeoServer is capable of rather than getting lost in extensions. This release includes support for in SLD (see SLD cookbook for an ).

UTFGrid support in. Internally we have upgraded the user interface library – taking the opportunity to update, and screens. The layer group page has also been split into tabs. By popular request the button to add a new layer has been renamed to “Add new layer”. Legend graphic has always been auto-generated, you can custom icons.

For installations without direct file system access you can now (icons, fonts,templates) using the REST API. An useful improvement to the is the group aggregate queries (sum, average, count) by an attribute.

For more information, as always, check the beta (and milestone ) This 2.9-beta release is released in conjunction with GeoTools 15-beta and GeoWebCache 1.9-beta. Thanks to Jody Garnett (Boundless) for this release.

A beta release often features lots of last-moment pull requests – thanks to Andrea Amie (GeoSolutions) and Ben Caradoc-Davies (Transient) for their assistance during this review cycle. A further thanks to Larry Shaffer (Boundless) and Chris Del Pino (Boundless) for their build assistance.

The big news for GeoServer 2.9-beta is upgrading our user interface from Wicket 1.4 to Wicket 7. A was organized for this labour intensive task, with plenty of hard work and manual testing. We would like to thank our sponsors, and. We should also thank sprint participants and in-kind sponsors scitus development, GeoSolutions, CCRi, Astun Technology and Voyager for making this event possible. About Geoserver 2.9 Articles, docs, blog posts and presentations:. and. (docs).

The raster support is currently optional, but installed by default. For enabling using the PostgreSQL 9.1+ extensions model raster is required. Using the extension enable process is preferred and more user-friendly. If you are on windows, do not quote the driver list Setting environment variables varies depending on OS. For PostgreSQL installed on Ubuntu or Debian via apt-postgresql, the preferred way is to edit /etc/postgresql/ 9.3/ main/environment where 9.3 refers to version of PostgreSQL and main refers to the cluster.

On windows, if you are running as a service, you can set via System variables which for Windows 7 you can get to by right-clicking on Computer-Properties Advanced System Settings or in explorer navigating to Control Panel All Control Panel Items System. Then clicking Advanced System Settings -Advanced-Environment Variables and adding new system variables.

After you set the environment variables, you'll need to restart your PostgreSQL service for the changes to take effect. PostgreSQL 9.2. GDAL (pseudo optional) only if you don't want raster and don't care about installing with CREATE EXTENSION postgis can you leave it out.

Keep in mind other extensions may have a requires postgis extension which will prevent you from installing them unless you install postgis as an extension. So it is highly recommended you compile with GDAL support. Also make sure to enable the drivers you want to use as described in.

GTK (requires GTK+2.0, 2.8+) to compile the shp2pgsql-gui shape file loader. SFCGAL, version 1.1 (or higher) could be used to provide additional 2D and 3D advanced analysis functions to PostGIS cf. And also allow to use SFCGAL rather than GEOS for some 2D functions provided by both backends (like STIntersection or STArea, for instance). A PostgreSQL configuration variable postgis.backend allow end user to control which backend he want to use if SFCGAL is installed (GEOS by default). Nota: SFCGAL 1.2 require at least CGAL 4.3 and Boost 1.54 (cf: ). In order to build the you will also need PCRE (which generally is already installed on nix systems).

Regex::Assemble perl CPAN package is only needed if you want to rebuild the data encoded in parseaddress-stcities.h. Will automatically be built if it detects a PCRE library, or you pass in a valid -with-pcre-dir=/path/to/pcre during configure.

CUnit ( CUnit). This is needed for regression testing.

DocBook ( xsltproc) is required for building the documentation. Docbook is available from.

DBLatex ( dblatex) is required for building the documentation in PDF format. DBLatex is available from. ImageMagick ( convert) is required to generate the images used in the documentation. ImageMagick is available from. Many OS systems now include pre-built packages for PostgreSQL/PostGIS.

In many cases compilation is only necessary if you want the most bleeding edge versions or you are a package maintainer. This section includes general compilation instructions, if you are compiling for Windows etc or another OS, you may find additional more detailed help at. Pre-Built Packages for various OS are listed in If you are a windows user, you can get stable builds via Stackbuilder or We also have that are built usually once or twice a week or whenever anything exciting happens. You can use these to experiment with the in progress releases of PostGIS The PostGIS module is an extension to the PostgreSQL backend server. As such, PostGIS 2.3.9dev requires full PostgreSQL server headers access in order to compile. It can be built against PostgreSQL versions 9.2 or higher. Earlier versions of PostgreSQL are not supported.

Refer to the PostgreSQL installation guides if you haven't already installed PostgreSQL. For GEOS functionality, when you install PostgresSQL you may need to explicitly link PostgreSQL against the standard C library: LDFLAGS=-lstdc./configure YOUR OPTIONS HERE This is a workaround for bogus C exceptions interaction with older development tools. If you experience weird problems (backend unexpectedly closed or similar things) try this trick. This will require recompiling your PostgreSQL from scratch, of course.

The following steps outline the configuration and compilation of the PostGIS source. They are written for Linux users and will not work on Windows or Mac. 2.4.1. Configuration As with most linux installations, the first step is to generate the Makefile that will be used to build the source code. This is done by running the shell script./configure With no additional parameters, this command will attempt to automatically locate the required components and libraries needed to build the PostGIS source code on your system. Although this is the most common usage of./configure, the script accepts several parameters for those who have the required libraries and programs in non-standard locations. The following list shows only the most commonly used parameters.

For a complete list, use the -help or -help=short parameters. This parameter is currently broken, as the package will only install into the PostgreSQL installation directory. Visit to track this bug.with-pgconfig=FILE PostgreSQL provides a utility called pgconfig to enable extensions like PostGIS to locate the PostgreSQL installation directory.

Use this parameter ( -with-pgconfig=/path/to/pgconfig) to manually specify a particular PostgreSQL installation that PostGIS will build against.with-gdalconfig=FILE GDAL, a required library, provides functionality needed for raster support gdal-config to enable software installations to locate the GDAL installation directory. Use this parameter ( -with-gdalconfig=/path/to/gdal-config) to manually specify a particular GDAL installation that PostGIS will build against.with-geosconfig=FILE GEOS, a required geometry library, provides a utility called geos-config to enable software installations to locate the GEOS installation directory. Use this parameter ( -with-geosconfig=/path/to/geos-config) to manually specify a particular GEOS installation that PostGIS will build against.with-xml2config=FILE LibXML is the library required for doing GeomFromKML/GML processes. It normally is found if you have libxml installed, but if not or you want a specific version used, you'll need to point PostGIS at a specific xml2-config confi file to enable software installations to locate the LibXML installation directory. Use this parameter ( -with-xml2config=/path/to/xml2-config) to manually specify a particular LibXML installation that PostGIS will build against.with-projdir=DIR Proj4 is a reprojection library required by PostGIS. Use this parameter ( -with-projdir=/path/to/projdir) to manually specify a particular Proj4 installation directory that PostGIS will build against.with-libiconv=DIR Directory where iconv is installed.with-jsondir=DIR is an MIT-licensed JSON library required by PostGIS STGeomFromJSON support.

Use this parameter ( -with-jsondir=/path/to/jsondir) to manually specify a particular JSON-C installation directory that PostGIS will build against.with-pcredir=DIR is an BSD-licensed Perl Compatible Regular Expression library required by addressstandardizer extension. Use this parameter ( -with-pcredir=/path/to/pcredir) to manually specify a particular PCRE installation directory that PostGIS will build against.with-gui Compile the data import GUI (requires GTK+2.0). This will create shp2pgsql-gui graphical interface to shp2pgsql.with-raster Compile with raster support. This will build rtpostgis-2.3.9dev library and rtpostgis.sql file. This may not be required in final release as plan is to build in raster support by default.with-topology Compile with topology support. This will build the topology.sql file. There is no corresponding library as all logic needed for topology is in postgis-2.3.9dev library.with-gettext=no By default PostGIS will try to detect gettext support and compile with it, however if you run into incompatibility issues that cause breakage of loader, you can disable it entirely with this command.

Refer to ticket for an example issue solved by configuring with this. NOTE: that you aren't missing much by turning this off.

This is used for international help/label support for the GUI loader which is not yet documented and still experimental.with-sfcgal=PATH By default PostGIS will not install with sfcgal support without this switch. PATH is an optional argument that allows to specify an alternate PATH to sfcgal-config. 2.4.2. Building Once the Makefile has been generated, building PostGIS is as simple as running make The last line of the output should be ' PostGIS was built successfully.

Ready to install.' As of PostGIS v1.4.0, all the functions have comments generated from the documentation. If you wish to install these comments into your spatial databases later, run the command which requires docbook. The postgiscomments.sql and other package comments files rastercomments.sql, topologycomments.sql are also packaged in the tar.gz distribution in the doc folder so no need to make comments if installing from the tar ball. Make comments Introduced in PostGIS 2.0. This generates html cheat sheets suitable for quick reference or for student handouts. This requires xsltproc to build and will generate 4 files in doc folder topologycheatsheet.html, tigergeocodercheatsheet.html, rastercheatsheet.html, postgischeatsheet.html You can download some pre-built ones available in html and pdf from make cheatsheets.

2.4.3. Building PostGIS Extensions and Deploying them The PostGIS extensions are built and installed automatically if you are using PostgreSQL 9.1+. If you are building from source repository, you need to build the function descriptions first. These get built if you have docbook installed. You can also manually build with the statement: make comments Building the comments is not necessary if you are building from a release tar ball since these are packaged pre-built with the tar ball already. If you are building against PostgreSQL 9.1, the extensions should automatically build as part of the make install process. You can if needed build from the extensions folders or copy files if you need them on a different server.

Cd extensions cd postgis make clean make make install cd. Cd postgistopology make clean make make install cd. Cd postgissfcgal make clean make make install cd.

Cd addressstandardizer make clean make make install make installcheck cd. Cd postgistigergeocoder make clean make make install make installcheck The extension files will always be the same for the same version of PostGIS regardless of OS, so it is fine to copy over the extension files from one OS to another as long as you have the PostGIS binaries already installed on your servers. If you want to install the extensions manually on a separate server different from your development, You need to copy the following files from the extensions folder into the PostgreSQL / share / extension folder of your PostgreSQL install as well as the needed binaries for regular PostGIS if you don't have them already on the server. These are the control files that denote information such as the version of the extension to install if not specified. Postgis.control, postgistopology.control. All the files in the /sql folder of each extension. Note that these need to be copied to the root of the PostgreSQL share/extension folder extensions/postgis/sql/.sql, extensions/postgistopology/sql/.sql Once you do that, you should see postgis, postgistopology as available extensions in PgAdmin - extensions.

Extension tables spatialrefsys, layer, topology can not be explicitly backed up. They can only be backed up when the respective postgis or postgistopology extension is backed up, which only seems to happen when you backup the whole database. As of PostGIS 2.0.1, only srid records not packaged with PostGIS are backed up when the database is backed up so don't go around changing srids we package and expect your changes to be there. Put in a ticket if you find an issue.

The structures of extension tables are never backed up since they are created with CREATE EXTENSION and assumed to be the same for a given version of an extension. These behaviors are built into the current PostgreSQL extension model, so nothing we can do about it. If you installed 2.3.9dev, without using our wonderful extension system, you can change it to be extension based by first upgrading to the latest micro version running the upgrade scripts: postgisupgrade22minor.sql, rasterupgrade22minor.sql, topologyupgrade22minor.sql. If you installed postgis without raster support, you'll need to install raster support first (using the full rtpostgis.sql Then you can run the below commands to package the functions in their respective extension.

CREATE EXTENSION postgis FROM unpackaged; CREATE EXTENSION postgistopology FROM unpackaged; CREATE EXTENSION postgistigergeocoder FROM unpackaged. Currently, the make check relies on the PATH and PGPORT environment variables when performing the checks - it does not use the PostgreSQL version that may have been specified using the configuration parameter -with-pgconfig.

So make sure to modify your PATH to match the detected PostgreSQL installation during configuration or be prepared to deal with the impending headaches. 2.5. Creating a spatial database using EXTENSIONS If you are using PostgreSQL 9.1+ and have compiled and installed the extensions/ postgis modules, you can create a spatial database the new way. Createdb yourdatabase The core postgis extension installs PostGIS geometry, geography, raster, spatialrefsys and all the functions and comments with a simple: CREATE EXTENSION postgis; command. Psql -d yourdatabase -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgis;' Topology is packaged as a separate extension and installable with command: psql -d yourdatabase -c 'CREATE EXTENSION postgistopology;' If you plan to restore an old backup from prior versions in this new db, run: psql -d yourdatabase -f legacy.sql You can later run uninstalllegacy.sql to get rid of the deprecated functions after you are done with restoring and cleanup. This is generally only needed if you built-PostGIS without raster support.

Since raster functions are part of the postgis extension, extension support is not enabled if PostGIS is built without raster. The first step in creating a PostGIS database is to create a simple PostgreSQL database. Createdb yourdatabase Many of the PostGIS functions are written in the PL/pgSQL procedural language. As such, the next step to create a PostGIS database is to enable the PL/pgSQL language in your new database.

This is accomplish by the command below command. For PostgreSQL 8.4+, this is generally already installed createlang plpgsql yourdatabase Now load the PostGIS object and function definitions into your database by loading the postgis.sql definitions file (located in prefix/share/contrib as specified during the configuration step).

Psql -d yourdatabase -f postgis.sql For a complete set of EPSG coordinate system definition identifiers, you can also load the spatialrefsys.sql definitions file and populate the spatialrefsys table. This will permit you to perform STTransform operations on geometries. Psql -d yourdatabase -f spatialrefsys.sql If you wish to add comments to the PostGIS functions, the final step is to load the postgiscomments.sql into your spatial database.

The comments can be viewed by simply typing dd functionname from a psql terminal window. Psql -d yourdatabase -f postgiscomments.sql Install raster support psql -d yourdatabase -f rtpostgis.sql Install raster support comments. This will provide quick help info for each raster function using psql or PgAdmin or any other PostgreSQL tool that can show function comments psql -d yourdatabase -f rastercomments.sql Install topology support psql -d yourdatabase -f topology/topology.sql Install topology support comments. This will provide quick help info for each topology function / type using psql or PgAdmin or any other PostgreSQL tool that can show function comments psql -d yourdatabase -f topology/topologycomments.sql If you plan to restore an old backup from prior versions in this new db, run: psql -d yourdatabase -f legacy.sql. The addressstandardizer extension used to be a separate package that required separate download.

From PostGIS 2.2 on, it is now bundled in. For more information about the addressstandardize, what it does, and how to configure it for your needs, refer to.

This standardizer can be used in conjunction with the PostGIS packaged tiger geocoder extension as a replacement for the discussed. To use as replacement refer to. You can also use it as a building block for your own geocoder or use it to standardize your addresses for easier compare of addresses. The address standardizer relies on PCRE which is usually already installed on many Nix systems, but you can download the latest at:. If during, PCRE is found, then the address standardizer extension will automatically be built. If you have a custom pcre install you want to use instead, pass to configure -with-pcredir=/path/to/pcre where /path/to/pcre is the root folder for your pcre include and lib directories. For Windows users, the PostGIS 2.1+ bundle is packaged with the addressstandardizer already so no need to compile and can move straight to CREATE EXTENSION step.

Once you have installed, you can connect to your database and run the SQL: CREATE EXTENSION addressstandardizer; The following test requires no rules, gaz, or lex tables SELECT num, street, city, state, zip FROM parseaddress('1 Devonshire Place, Boston, MA 02109'); Output should be num street city state zip -+-+-+-+- 1 Devonshire Place PH301 Boston MA 02109. First get binaries for PostGIS 2.1+ or compile and install as usual. This should install the necessary extension files as well for tiger geocoder.

Connect to your database via psql or pgAdmin or some other tool and run the following SQL commands. Note that if you are installing in a database that already has postgis, you don't need to do the first step. If you have fuzzystrmatch extension already installed, you don't need to do the second step either. CREATE EXTENSION postgis; CREATE EXTENSION fuzzystrmatch; -this one is optional if you want to use the rules based standardizer (pagcnormalizeaddress) CREATE EXTENSION addressstandardizer; CREATE EXTENSION postgistigergeocoder; If you already have postgistigergeocoder extension installed, and just want to update to the latest run: ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE; ALTER EXTENSION postgistigergeocoder UPDATE; If you made custom entries or changes to tiger.loaderplatform and tiger.loadervariables you may need to update these.

To confirm your install is working correctly, run this sql in your database: SELECT na.address, na.streetname,na.streettypeabbrev, na.zip FROM normalizeaddress('1 Devonshire Place, Boston, MA 02109') AS na; Which should output address streetname streettypeabbrev zip -+-+-+- 1 Devonshire Pl 02109. Create a new record in tiger.loaderplatform table with the paths of your executables and server.

So for example to create a profile called debbie that follows sh convention. You would do: INSERT INTO tiger.loaderplatform(os, declaresect, pgbin, wget, unzipcommand, psql, pathsep, loader, environsetcommand, countyprocesscommand) SELECT 'debbie', declaresect, pgbin, wget, unzipcommand, psql, pathsep, loader, environsetcommand, countyprocesscommand FROM tiger.loaderplatform WHERE os = 'sh'; And then edit the paths in the declaresect column to those that fit Debbie's pg, unzip,shp2pgsql, psql, etc path locations. If you don't edit this loaderplatform table, it will just contain common case locations of items and you'll have to edit the generated script after the script is generated. Create a folder called gisdata on root of server or your local pc if you have a fast network connection to the server. This folder is where the tiger files will be downloaded to and processed.

If you are not happy with having the folder on the root of the server, or simply want to change to a different folder for staging, then edit the field stagingfold in the tiger.loadervariables table. Create a folder called temp in the gisdata folder or whereever you designated the stagingfold to be. This will be the folder where the loader extracts the downloaded tiger data. Then run the SQL function make sure to use the name of your custom profile and copy the script to a.sh or.bat file.

So for example to build the nation load: psql -c 'SELECT LoaderGenerateNationScript('debbie')' -d geocoder -tA /gisdata/nationscriptload.sh. Run the generated nation load commandline scripts. Cd /gisdata sh nationscriptload.sh. After you are done running the nation script, you should have three tables in your tigerdata schema and they should be filled with data. Confirm you do by doing the following queries from psql or pgAdmin SELECT count(.) FROM tigerdata.countyall; count - 3233 (1 row) SELECT count(.) FROM tigerdata.stateall; count - 56 (1 row). By default the tables corresponding to bg, tract, tabblock are not loaded.

These tables are not used by the geocoder but are used by folks for population statistics. If you wish to load them as part of your state loads, run the following statement to enable them. UPDATE tiger.loaderlookuptables SET load = true WHERE load = false AND lookupname IN('tract', 'bg', 'tabblock'); Alternatively you can load just these tables after loading state data using the. For each state you want to load data for, generate a state script. DO NOT Generate the state script until you have already loaded the nation data, because the state script utilizes county list loaded by nation script. psql -c 'SELECT LoaderGenerateScript(ARRAY'MA', 'debbie')' -d geocoder -tA /gisdata/maload.sh.

Run the generated commandline scripts. 2.8.2. Tiger Geocoder Enabling your PostGIS database: Not Using Extensions First install PostGIS using the prior instructions.

If you don't have an extras folder, download tar xvfz postgis-2.3.9dev.tar.gz cd postgis-2.3.9dev/extras/tigergeocoder Edit the tigerloader2015.sql (or latest loader file you find, unless you want to load different year) to the paths of your executables server etc or alternatively you can update the loaderplatform table once installed. If you don't edit this file or the loaderplatform table, it will just contain common case locations of items and you'll have to edit the generated script after the fact when you run the and SQL functions. If you are installing Tiger geocoder for the first time edit either the creategeocode.bat script If you are on windows or the creategeocode.sh if you are on Linux/Unix/Mac OSX with your PostgreSQL specific settings and run the corresponding script from the commandline. Verify that you now have a tiger schema in your database and that it is part of your database searchpath. If it is not, add it with a command something along the line of: ALTER DATABASE geocoder SET searchpath=public, tiger; The normalizing address functionality works more or less without any data except for tricky addresses.

Run this test and verify things look like this: SELECT pprintaddy(normalizeaddress('202 East Fremont Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101')) As prettyaddress; prettyaddress - 202 E Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV 89101. 2.8.3. Using Address Standardizer Extension with Tiger geocoder One of the many complaints of folks is the address normalizer function function that normalizes an address for prepping before geocoding.

The normalizer is far from perfect and trying to patch its imperfectness takes a vast amount of resources. As such we have integrated with another project that has a much better address standardizer engine. To use this new addressstandardizer, you compile the extension as described in and install as an extension in your database. Once you install this extension in the same database as you have installed postgistigergeocoder, then the can be used instead of. This extension is tiger agnostic, so can be used with other data sources such as international addresses.

The tiger geocoder extension does come packaged with its own custom versions of ( tiger.pagcrules), ( tiger.pagcgaz), and ( tiger.pagclex). These you can add and update to improve your standardizing experience for your own needs. 2.8.4. Loading Tiger Data The instructions for loading data are available in a more detailed form in the extras/tigergeocoder/tiger2011/README. This just includes the general steps. The load process downloads data from the census website for the respective nation files, states requested, extracts the files, and then loads each state into its own separate set of state tables. Each state table inherits from the tables defined in tiger schema so that its sufficient to just query those tables to access all the data and drop a set of state tables at any time using the if you need to reload a state or just don't need a state anymore. In order to be able to load data you'll need the following tools.

A tool to unzip the zip files from census website. For Unix like systems: unzip executable which is usually already installed on most Unix like platforms. For Windows, 7-zip which is a free compress/uncompress tool you can download from. shp2pgsql commandline which is installed by default when you install PostGIS.

wget which is a web grabber tool usually installed on most Unix/Linux systems. If you are on windows, you can get pre-compiled binaries from If you are upgrading from tiger2010, you'll need to first generate and run. Before you load any state data, you need to load the nation wide data which you do with. Which will generate a loader script for you.

Is a one-time step that should be done for upgrading (from 2010) and for new installs. To load state data refer to to generate a data load script for your platform for the states you desire. Note that you can install these piecemeal.

You don't have to load all the states you want all at once. You can load them as you need them. After the states you desire have been loaded, make sure to run the: SELECT installmissingindexes; as described in. To test that things are working as they should, try to run a geocode on an address in your state using.

2.8.5. Upgrading your Tiger Geocoder Install If you have Tiger Geocoder packaged with 2.0+ already installed, you can upgrade the functions at any time even from an interim tar ball if there are fixes you badly need. This will only work for Tiger geocoder not installed with extensions. If you don't have an extras folder, download tar xvfz postgis-2.3.9dev.tar.gz cd postgis-2.3.9dev/extras/tigergeocoder/tiger2011 Locate the upgradegeocoder.bat script If you are on windows or the upgradegeocoder.sh if you are on Linux/Unix/Mac OSX. Edit the file to have your postgis database credentials. If you are upgrading from 2010 or 2011, make sure to unremark out the loader script line so you get the latest script for loading 2012 data. Then run th corresponding script from the commandline. Next drop all nation tables and load up the new ones.

Generate a drop script with this SQL statement as detailed in SELECT dropnationtablesgeneratescript; Run the generated drop SQL statements. Generate a nation load script with this SELECT statement as detailed in For windows SELECT loadergeneratenationscript('windows'); For unix/linux SELECT loadergeneratenationscript('sh'); Refer to for instructions on how to run the generate script. This only needs to be done once. 2.9. Create a spatially-enabled database from a template Some packaged distributions of PostGIS (in particular the Win32 installers for PostGIS = 1.1.5) load the PostGIS functions into a template database called templatepostgis. If the templatepostgis database exists in your PostgreSQL installation then it is possible for users and/or applications to create spatially-enabled databases using a single command.

Note that in both cases, the database user must have been granted the privilege to create new databases. From the shell: # createdb -T templatepostgis myspatialdb From SQL: postgres=# CREATE DATABASE myspatialdb TEMPLATE=templatepostgis. Upgrading existing spatial databases can be tricky as it requires replacement or introduction of new PostGIS object definitions. Unfortunately not all definitions can be easily replaced in a live database, so sometimes your best bet is a dump/reload process. PostGIS provides a SOFT UPGRADE procedure for minor or bugfix releases, and a HARD UPGRADE procedure for major releases.

Before attempting to upgrade PostGIS, it is always worth to backup your data. If you use the -Fc flag to pgdump you will always be able to restore the dump with a HARD UPGRADE. 2.10.1.1. Soft Upgrade Pre 9.1+ or without extensions This section applies only to those who installed PostGIS not using extensions. If you have extensions and try to upgrade with this approach you'll get messages like: can't drop. Because postgis extension depends on it After compiling and installing (make install) you should find a postgisupgrade.sql and rtpostgisupgrade.sql in the installation folders. For example /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgisupgrade.sql. Install the postgisupgrade.sql.

If you have raster functionality installed, you will also need to install the /usr/share/postgresql/9.3/contrib/postgisupgrade.sql. If you are moving from PostGIS 1.

to PostGIS 2. or from PostGIS 2. prior to r7409, you need to do a HARD UPGRADE. Psql -f postgisupgrade.sql -d yourspatialdatabase The same procedure applies to raster and topology extensions, with upgrade files named rtpostgisupgrade.sql and topologyupgrade.sql respectively.

Geoserver For Windows

If you need them: psql -f rtpostgisupgrade.sql -d yourspatialdatabase psql -f topologyupgrade.sql -d yourspatialdatabase. 2.10.1.2. Soft Upgrade 9.1+ using extensions If you originally installed PostGIS with extensions, then you need to upgrade using extensions as well. Doing a minor upgrade with extensions, is fairly painless. ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO '2.3.9dev'; ALTER EXTENSION postgistopology UPDATE TO '2.3.9dev'; If you get an error notice something like: No migration path defined for.

Geoserver 2.8.3 Download For Mac

To 2.3.9dev Then you'll need to backup your database, create a fresh one as described in and then restore your backup ontop of this new database. If you get a notice message like: Version '2.3.9dev' of extension 'postgis' is already installed Then everything is already up to date and you can safely ignore it. UNLESS you're attempting to upgrade from an SVN version to the next (which doesn't get a new version number); in that case you can append 'next' to the version string, and next time you'll need to drop the 'next' suffix again: ALTER EXTENSION postgis UPDATE TO '2.3.9devnext'; ALTER EXTENSION postgistopology UPDATE TO '2.3.9devnext'. 2.10.2. Hard upgrade By HARD UPGRADE we mean full dump/reload of postgis-enabled databases. You need a HARD UPGRADE when PostGIS objects' internal storage changes or when SOFT UPGRADE is not possible.

The appendix reports for each version whether you need a dump/reload (HARD UPGRADE) to upgrade. The dump/reload process is assisted by the postgisrestore.pl script which takes care of skipping from the dump all definitions which belong to PostGIS (including old ones), allowing you to restore your schemas and data into a database with PostGIS installed without getting duplicate symbol errors or bringing forward deprecated objects. Supplementary instructions for windows users are available at.

The Procedure is as follows. Create a 'custom-format' dump of the database you want to upgrade (let's call it olddb) include binary blobs (-b) and verbose (-v) output. The user can be the owner of the db, need not be postgres super account. Pgdump -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -Fc -b -v -f '/somepath/olddb.backup' olddb. Do a fresh install of PostGIS in a new database - we'll refer to this database as newdb.

Please refer to and for instructions on how to do this. The spatialrefsys entries found in your dump will be restored, but they will not override existing ones in spatialrefsys. This is to ensure that fixes in the official set will be properly propagated to restored databases.

If for any reason you really want your own overrides of standard entries just don't load the spatialrefsys.sql file when creating the new db. If your database is really old or you know you've been using long deprecated functions in your views and functions, you might need to load legacy.sql for all your functions and views etc. To properly come back. Only do this if really needed. Consider upgrading your views and functions before dumping instead, if possible. The deprecated functions can be later removed by loading uninstalllegacy.sql.

Restore your backup into your fresh newdb database using postgisrestore.pl. Unexpected errors, if any, will be printed to the standard error stream by psql. Keep a log of those. Perl utils/postgisrestore.pl '/somepath/olddb.backup' psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres newdb 2 errors.txt Errors may arise in the following cases.

Some of your views or functions make use of deprecated PostGIS objects. In order to fix this you may try loading legacy.sql script prior to restore or you'll have to restore to a version of PostGIS which still contains those objects and try a migration again after porting your code.

If the legacy.sql way works for you, don't forget to fix your code to stop using deprecated functions and drop them loading uninstalllegacy.sql. Some custom records of spatialrefsys in dump file have an invalid SRID value. Valid SRID values are bigger than 0 and smaller than 999000. Values in the 999 range are reserved for internal use while values 999999 can't be used at all. All your custom records with invalid SRIDs will be retained, with those 999999 moved into the reserved range, but the spatialrefsys table would lose a check constraint guarding for that invariant to hold and possibly also its primary key ( when multiple invalid SRIDS get converted to the same reserved SRID value ). In order to fix this you should copy your custom SRS to a SRID with a valid value (maybe in the 999 range), convert all your tables to the new srid (see ), delete the invalid entry from spatialrefsys and re-construct the check(s) with: ALTER TABLE spatialrefsys ADD CONSTRAINT spatialrefsyssridcheck check (srid 0 AND srid.

Check that you have installed PostgreSQL 9.2 or newer, and that you are compiling against the same version of the PostgreSQL source as the version of PostgreSQL that is running. Mix-ups can occur when your (Linux) distribution has already installed PostgreSQL, or you have otherwise installed PostgreSQL before and forgotten about it. PostGIS will only work with PostgreSQL 9.2 or newer, and strange, unexpected error messages will result if you use an older version. To check the version of PostgreSQL which is running, connect to the database using psql and run this query: SELECT version; If you are running an RPM based distribution, you can check for the existence of pre-installed packages using the rpm command as follows: rpm -qa grep postgresql. If your upgrade fails, make sure you are restoring into a database that already has PostGIS installed.

SELECT postgisfullversion; Also check that configure has correctly detected the location and version of PostgreSQL, the Proj4 library and the GEOS library.
