Integration of postgreSQL on WAMP - php

Question

I have just installed the postgreSQL on windows 7. I am trying to integrate postgreSQL with WAMP server.
For this i have done the following changes in httpd.conf and php.ini file
1 LoadModule c:/path to libpq.dll in httpd.conf and then
2 extension=php_mod_pgsql.dll, extension=php_pgsql.dll -- enable(reemove ;) in php.ini
If I do the above changes the localhost does not work.
If I do the second changes the localhost work but does not load the libpq.dll.
I checked the pgsql by php script by this
<?php
echo extension_loaded('pgsql') ? 'yes':'no';
?>
The script shows "yes", but apache is not loading the libpq.dll.
Now what i should do for load the postgreSQL into the Apache2.2* (wamp)

Answer 1

After installation of PostgreSQL, you need to copy libpq.dll from wamp\bin\php\phpX.X.X to wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2*\bin . And restart the Wampserver.
Download phpPgAdmin here.
Extract phpPgAdmin-5.1.zip in C:\wamp\apps So the path will be, C:\wamp\apps\phpPgAdmin-5.1.
Create a file called phppgadmin.conf in C:\wamp\alias. And copy paste the following :
Alias /phppgadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/"
<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
Left Click on the Wampserver Tray icon. Navigate to PHP > PHP extension. Then enable this
a. php_pgsql
b. php_pdo_pgsql extension.
Open C:\wamp\apps\phpPgAdmin-5.1\conf\config.inc.php,
a. find $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = ''; change to $conf['servers'][0]['host'] = 'localhost';
b. find $conf['extra_login_security'] = true; change true to false
Restart All service
Go to http://localhost/phppgadmin/ and try to login.
Default Login credentials are
Username = "postgres"
Password = "root"

Thank you. These instructions worked once I also added
'Require local' to the phppgadmin.conf file:
Alias /phppgadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/"
<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/">
Require local
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Don't forget that WAMP has two php.ini files. One in Apache directory, one in php directory (bin\php\php5.X.X). Wampserver Tray manages the one in Apache directory.
To be able to run php cli tools (e.g php artisan), you need to uncomment the php_pgsql and php_pdo_pgsql in the php.ini in php directory.

Answer 4

it worked thank you
Alias /phppgadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/"
<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpPgAdmin-5.1/">
Require local
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

Probably the best place to start is with the msdn docs. It looks like the simplest fix is to set the %PATH% environment variable system-wide to include the path to libpq.dll.
Note that %PATH is searched last, so if a libpq is ever put into the system directory or the Apache directory it will be caught first.

After Enabling Postgresql extension from WAMP icon i was able to get postgresql admin page but bin/cake bake all command was failing with error 'php extn missing'.
(referred #rails_id's post below to complete postgresql integration with WAMP)
checked in cmd prompt with php -m, no "postgresql" module was present.
Went to php installation directory, in my case it was "C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.2.10" and enabled (removed the ;) following pg module in php.ini file:
extension=pdo_pgsql
extension=pgsql
restarted the wamp services.
bin/cake bake all is working fine from command prompt.
