Configure the PostgreSQL database

The following should be done immediately following the installation and initial configuration:

• Configure the PostgreSQL database

• Optimize the PostgreSQL database

• Secure the Polarion Activation Application

• Change the default administrator password

• Change the password for the 'polarion' SVN user

• Enter an error reporting email

The PostgreSQL database must be properly configured before you can start the Polarion server. Automated installation scripts attempt to perform basic configuration so that Polarion can run. If the script was unable to configure PostgreSQL you will need to configure it manually. See Appendix: Manual configuration of third-party components. Even if the script succeeds, some additional configuration of the PostgreSQL database is recommended for optimal performance.
