1.3.12. Changes in Apache httpd
mod_http2
module is no longer supported with the default prefork
Multi-Processing Module (MPM). To enable HTTP/2 support, edit the configuration file at /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf
and switch to the event
or worker
MPM.
1.4. Compatibility Information
1.5. Known Issues
httpd24
component, BZ#1429006- Since httpd 2.4.27, the
mod_http2
module is no longer supported with the defaultprefork
Multi-Processing Module (MPM). To enable HTTP/2 support, edit the configuration file at/opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf
and switch to theevent
orworker
MPM.Note that the HTTP/2 server-push feature does not work on the 64-bit ARM architecture, IBM z Systems, and IBM POWER, little endian. httpd24
component, BZ#1327548- The
mod_ssl
module does not support the ALPN protocol on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, or on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 and earlier. Consequently, clients that support upgrading TLS connections to HTTP/2 only using ALPN are limited to HTTP/1.1 support. -
httpd24
component, BZ#1224763 - When using the
mod_proxy_fcgi
module with FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM), httpd uses port8000
for the FastCGI protocol by default instead of the correct port9000
. To work around this problem, specify the correct port explicitly in configuration. httpd24
component, BZ#1382706- When SELinux is enabled, the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable is not passed through to CGI scripts invoked by httpd. As a consequence, in some cases it is impossible to invoke executables from Software Collections enabled in the/opt/rh/httpd24/service-environment
file from CGI scripts run by httpd. To work around this problem, setLD_LIBRARY_PATH
as desired from within the CGI script. -
httpd24
component - Compiling external applications against the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) and APR-util libraries from the httpd24 Software Collection is not supported. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is not set in httpd24 because it is not required by any application in this Software Collection.
rh-python34
,rh-python35
,rh-python36
components, BZ#1499990- The
pytz
module, which is used byBabel
for time zone support, is not included in the rh-python34, rh-python35, and rh-python36 Software Collections. Consequently, when the user tries to import the dates module fromBabel
, a traceback is returned. To work around this problem, installpytz
through the pip package manager from thepypi
public repository by using thepip install pytz
command. rh-python36
component- Certain complex trigonometric functions provided by numpy might return incorrect values on the 64-bit ARM architecture, IBM z Systems, and IBM POWER, little endian. The AMD64 and Intel 64 architectures are not affected by this problem.
python27
component, BZ#1330489- The python27-python-pymongo package has been updated to version 3.2.1. Note that this version is not fully compatible with the previously shipped version 2.5.2.
-
python27
component - In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, when the user tries to install the python27-python-debuginfo package, the
/usr/src/debug/Python-2.7.5/Modules/socketmodule.c
file conflicts with the corresponding file from the python-debuginfo package installed on the core system. Consequently, installation of the python27-python-debuginfo fails. To work around this problem, uninstall the python-debuginfo package and then install the python27-python-debuginfo package. scl-utils
component- Due to an architecture-specific macro bug in the scl-utils package, the
<collection>/root/usr/lib64/
directory does not have the correct package ownership on the 64-bit ARM architecture and on IBM POWER, little endian. As a consequence, this directory is not removed when a Software Collection is uninstalled. To work around this problem, manually delete<collection>/root/usr/lib64/
when removing a Software Collection. rh-ruby24
,rh-ruby23
components- Determination of
RubyGem
installation paths is dependent on the order in which multiple Software Collections are enabled. The required order has been changed since Ruby 2.3.1 shipped in Red Hat Software Collections 2.3 to support dependent Collections. As a consequence,RubyGem
paths, which are used forgem
installation during an RPM build, are invalid when the Software Collections are supplied in an incorrect order. For example, the build now fails if the RPM spec file containsscl enable rh-ror50 rh-nodejs6
. To work around this problem, enable the rh-ror50 Software Collection last, for example,scl enable rh-nodejs6 rh-ror50
. rh-maven35
,rh-maven33
components- When the user has installed both the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system version of maven-local package and the rh-maven35-maven-local package or rh-maven33-maven-local package, XMvn, a tool used for building Java RPM packages, run from the rh-maven35 or rh-maven33 Software Collection tries to read the configuration file from the base system and fails. To work around this problem, uninstall the maven-local package from the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
rh-nodejs4
component, BZ#1316626- The
/opt/rh/rh-nodejs4/root/usr/share/licenses/
directory is not owned by any package. Consequently, when the rh-nodejs4 collection is uninstalled, this directory is not removed. To work around this problem, remove the directory manually after uninstalling rh-nodejs4. -
perl
component - It is impossible to install more than one
mod_perl.so
library. As a consequence, it is not possible to use themod_perl
module from more than one Perl Software Collection. -
nodejs010
component - Shared libraries provided by the nodejs010 Software Collection, namely
libcares
,libhttp_parser
, andlibuv
, are not properly prefixed with the Collection name. As a consequence, conflicts with the corresponding system libraries might occur. -
nodejs-hawk
component - The nodejs-hawk package uses an implementation of the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms adopted from the CryptoJS project. In this release, the client-side JavaScript is obfuscated. The future fix will involve using crypto features directly from the CryptoJS library.
-
postgresql
component - The postgresql92, rh-postgresql94, and rh-postgresql95 packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 do not provide the
sepgsql
module as this feature requires installation of libselinux version 2.0.99, which is not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. -
httpd
,mariadb
,mongodb
,mysql
,nodejs
,perl
,php55
,rh-php56
,python
,ruby
,ror
,thermostat
, andv8314
components, BZ#1072319 - When uninstalling the httpd24, mariadb55, rh-mariadb100, mongodb24, rh-mongodb26, mysql55, rh-mysql56, nodejs010, perl516, rh-perl520, php55, rh-php56, python27, python33, rh-python34, ruby193, ruby200, rh-ruby22, ror40, rh-ror41, thermostat1, or v8314 packages, the order of uninstalling can be relevant due to ownership of dependent packages. As a consequence, some directories and files might not be removed properly and might remain on the system.
-
rh-mysql57
,rh-mysql56
,rh-mariadb100
,rh-mariadb101
components, BZ#1194611 - The rh-mysql57-mysql-server, rh-mysql56-mysql-server, rh-mariadb100-mariadb-server, and rh-mariadb101-mariadb-server packages no longer provide the
test
database by default. Although this database is not created during initialization, the grant tables are prefilled with the same values as whentest
was created by default. As a consequence, upon a later creation of thetest
ortest_*
databases, these databases have less restricted access rights than is default for new databases.Additionally, when running benchmarks, therun-all-tests
script no longer works out of the box with example parameters. You need to create a test database before running the tests and specify the database name in the--database
parameter. If the parameter is not specified,test
is taken by default but you need to make sure thetest
database exist. -
mongodb24
component - The mongodb24 Software Collection from Red Hat Software Collections 1.2 cannot be rebuilt with the rh-java-common and maven30 Software Collections shipped with Red Hat Software Collections 3.0. Additionally, the mongodb24-build and mongodb24-scldevel packages cannot be installed with Red Hat Software Collections 3.0 due to unsatisfied requires on the maven30-javapackages-tools and maven30-maven-local packages. When the mongodb24-scldevel package is installed, broken dependencies are reported and the
yum --skip-broken
command skips too many packages. Users are advised to update to the rh-mongodb26 Software Collection. -
mariadb
,mysql
,postgresql
,mongodb
components - Red Hat Software Collections 3.0 contains the MySQL 5.7, MySQL 5.6, MariaDB 10.0, MariaDB 10.1, PostgreSQL 9.4, PostgreSQL 9.5, MongoDB 2.6, and MongoDB 3.2 databases. The core Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 provides earlier versions of the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases (client library and daemon). The core Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 provides earlier versions of the MariaDB and PostgreSQL databases (client library and daemon). Client libraries are also used in database connectors for dynamic languages, libraries, and so on.The client library packaged in the Red Hat Software Collections database packages in the PostgreSQL component is not supposed to be used, as it is included only for purposes of server utilities and the daemon. Users are instead expected to use the system library and the database connectors provided with the core system.A protocol, which is used between the client library and the daemon, is stable across database versions, so, for example, using the PostgreSQL 9.2 client library with the PostgreSQL 9.4 or 9.5 daemon works as expected.The core Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 do not include the client library for MongoDB. In order to use this client library for your application, you should use the client library from Red Hat Software Collections and always use the
scl enable ...
call every time you run an application linked against this MongoDB client library. -
mariadb
,mysql
,mongodb
components - MariaDB, MySQL, and MongoDB do not make use of the
/opt/provider/collection/root
prefix when creating log files. Note that log files are saved in the/var/opt/provider/collection/log/
directory, not in/opt/provider/collection/root/var/log/
. rh-eclipse46
component- When a plug-in from a third-party update site is installed, Eclipse sometimes fails to start with a
NullPointerException
in the workspace log file. To work around this problem, restart Eclipse with the-clean
option. For example:~]$ scl enable rh-eclipse46 "eclipse -clean"
rh-eclipse46
component- The Eclipse Docker Tooling introduces a Dockerfile editor with syntax highlighting and a basic command auto-completion. When the Build Image Wizard is open and the button is pressed, the Dockerfile editor opens the file in a detached editor window. However, this window does not contain the and buttons. To work around this problem, press Ctrl+S to save your changes or right-click in the editor to launch a context menu, which offers the option. To cancel your changes, close the window.
rh-eclipse46
component- On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2, a bug in the perf tool, which is used to populate the
Perf Profile View
in Eclipse, causes some of the items in the view not to be properly linked to their respective positions in the Eclipse Editor. While the profiling works as expected, it is not possible to navigate to related positions in the Editor by clicking on parts of thePerl Profile View
. rh-thermostat16
component- Due to typos in the desktop application file, users are unable to launch Thermostat using the desktop icon. To work around this problem, modify the
/usr/share/applications/rh-thermostat16-thermostat.desktop
file from:[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=%{thermostat_desktop_app_name} Comment=A monitoring and serviceability tool for OpenJDK Exec=/opt/rh/rh-thermostat16/root/usr/share/thermostat/bin/thermostat local Icon=thermostat
To:[Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=Thermostat-1.6 Comment=A monitoring and serviceability tool for OpenJDK Exec=scl enable rh-thermostat16 "thermostat local" Icon=rh-thermostat16-thermostat
Alternatively, run Thermostat from command line:$ scl enable rh-thermostat16 "thermostat local"
Other Notes
-
rh-ruby22
,rh-ruby23
,rh-python34
,rh-python35
,rh-php56
,rh-php70
components - Using Software Collections on a read-only NFS has several limitations.
- Ruby gems cannot be installed while the rh-ruby22 or rh-ruby23 Software Collection is on a read-only NFS. Consequently, for example, when the user tries to install the ab gem using the
gem install ab
command, an error message is displayed, for example:ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EROFS) Read-only file system @ dir_s_mkdir - /opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/local/share/gems
The same problem occurs when the user tries to update or install gems from an external source by running thebundle update
orbundle install
commands. - When installing Python packages on a read-only NFS using the Python Package Index (PyPI), running the
pip
command fails with an error message similar to this:Read-only file system: '/opt/rh/rh-python34/root/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ipython-3.1.0.dist-info'
- Installing packages from PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) on a read-only NFS using the
pear
command fails with the error message:Cannot install, php_dir for channel "pear.php.net" is not writeable by the current user
This is an expected behavior. -
httpd
component - Language modules for Apache are supported only with the Red Hat Software Collections version of Apache httpd and not with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system versions of httpd. For example, the
mod_wsgi
module from the rh-python35 Collection can be used only with the httpd24 Collection. - all components
- Since Red Hat Software Collections 2.0, configuration files, variable data, and runtime data of individual Collections are stored in different directories than in previous versions of Red Hat Software Collections.
-
coreutils
,util-linux
,screen
components - Some utilities, for example, su, login, or screen, do not export environment settings in all cases, which can lead to unexpected results. It is therefore recommended to use sudo instead of su and set the
env_keep
environment variable in the/etc/sudoers
file. Alternatively, you can run commands in a reverse order; for example:su -l postgres -c "scl enable rh-postgresql94 psql"
instead ofscl enable rh-postgresql94 bash
su -l postgres -c psql
When using tools like screen or login, you can use the following command to preserve the environment settings:source /opt/rh/<collection_name>/enable
-
php54
component - Note that Alternative PHP Cache (APC) in Red Hat Software Collections is provided only for user data cache. For opcode cache, Zend OPcache is provided.
-
python
component - When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the python27, python33, rh-python34, and rh-python35 Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (
%scl_python
,%scl_prefix_python
). -
php
component - When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the php54, php55, rh-php56, and rh-php70 Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (
%scl_php
,%scl_prefix_php
). -
ruby
component - When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the ruby193, ruby200, rh-ruby22, and rh-ruby23 Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (
%scl_ruby
,%scl_prefix_ruby
). -
perl
component - When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the perl516, rh-perl520, and rh-perl524 Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (
%scl_perl
,%scl_prefix_perl
). -
nginx
component - When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the nginx16 and rh-nginx18 Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (
%scl_nginx
,%scl_prefix_nginx
). -
nodejs
component - When installing the nodejs010 Software Collection, nodejs010 installs GCC in the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system as a dependency, unless the gcc packages are already installed.
rh-eclipse46
component- The Eclipse SWT graphical library on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 uses GTK 3.x. Eclipse
Dark Theme
is not yet fully stable on GTK 3.x, so this theme is considered a Technology Preview and not supported. For more information about Red Hat Technology Previews, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview/.
1.6. Deprecated Functionality
httpd24
component, BZ#1434053- Previously, in an SSL/TLS configuration requiring name-based SSL virtual host selection, the
mod_ssl
module rejected requests with a400 Bad Request
error, if the host name provided in theHost:
header did not match the host name provided in a Server Name Indication (SNI) header. Such requests are no longer rejected if the configured SSL/TLS security parameters are identical between the selected virtual hosts, in-line with the behavior of upstreammod_ssl
.

Optional
channel cannot be installed from the ISO image. A list of packages that require enabling of the Optional
channel is provided in Section 2.1.3, “Packages from the Optional Channel”.
2.1.1. Using Red Hat Subscription Management
- Display a list of all subscriptions that are available for your system and determine the pool ID of a subscription that provides Red Hat Software Collections. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt as
root
:subscription-manager list --available
For each available subscription, this command displays its name, unique identifier, expiration date, and other details related to it. The pool ID is listed on a line beginning withPool Id
. - Attach the appropriate subscription to your system by running the following command as
root
:subscription-manager attach --pool=pool_id
Replace pool_id with the pool ID you determined in the previous step. To verify the list of subscriptions your system has currently attached, type asroot
:subscription-manager list --consumed
- Display the list of available Yum list repositories to retrieve repository metadata and determine the exact name of the Red Hat Software Collections repositories. As
root
, type:subscription-manager repos --list
Or alternatively, runyum repolist all
for a brief list.The repository names depend on the specific version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you are using and are in the following format:rhel-variant-rhscl-6-rpms rhel-variant-rhscl-6-debug-rpms rhel-variant-rhscl-6-source-rpms rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-rpms rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-source-rpms rhel-server-rhscl-6-eus-debug-rpms rhel-variant-rhscl-7-rpms rhel-variant-rhscl-7-debug-rpms rhel-variant-rhscl-7-source-rpms rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-rpms rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-source-rpms rhel-server-rhscl-7-eus-debug-rpms
Replace variant with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system variant, that is,server
orworkstation
. Note that Red Hat Software Collections is supported neither on theClient
nor on theComputeNode
variant. - Enable the appropriate repository by running the following command as
root
:subscription-manager repos --enable repository
2.1.2. Using RHN Classic
Important
- Display a list of all channels that are available to you and determine the exact name of the Red Hat Software Collections channel. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt as
root
:rhn-channel --available-channels
The name of the channel depends on the specific version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux you are using and is in the following format, where variant is the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system variant (server
orworkstation
):rhel-x86_64-variant-6-rhscl-1 rhel-x86_64-server-6.5.z-rhscl-1 rhel-x86_64-server-6.6.z-rhscl-1 rhel-x86_64-variant-7-rhscl-1 rhel-x86_64-server-7.1.eus-rhscl-1
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 channels are accessible only through Red Hat Satellite instances.Note
Red Hat Software Collections 2.x are distributed in the same channels as Red Hat Software Collections 1.x. - Subscribe the system to the Red Hat Software Collections channel by running the following command as
root
:rhn-channel --add --channel=channel_name
Replace channel_name with the name you determined in the previous step. - Verify the list of channels you are subscribed to. As

Chapter 5. Migration
5.1. Migrating to MariaDB 10.2
my.cnf
files need to be changed to prevent these specific resources from conflicting. Additionally, it is possible to install the rh-mariadb102 Software Collection while the rh-mariadb101 Collection is still installed and even running.
Note
scl register
command.
5.1.1. Notable Differences Between the rh-mariadb101 and rh-mariadb102 Software Collections
SQL_MODE
variable has been changed; see the upstream documentation for details.
scl enable
command for correct functioning of the binaries and scripts provided by the rh-mariadb102* packages. Note that the *-syspaths packages conflict with the corresponding packages from the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
5.1.2. Upgrading from the rh-mariadb101 to the rh-mariadb102 Software Collection
Important
- Stop the rh-mariadb101 database server if it is still running.Before stopping the server, set the
innodb_fast_shutdown
option to0
, so thatInnoDB
performs a slow shutdown, including a full purge and insert buffer merge. Read more about this option in the upstream documentation. This operation can take a longer time than in case of a normal shutdown.mysql -uroot -p -e "SET GLOBAL innodb_fast_shutdown = 0"
Stop the rh-mariadb101 server.service rh-mariadb101-mariadb stop
- Install the rh-mariadb102 Software Collection.
yum install rh-mariadb102-mariadb-server
Note that it is possible to install the rh-mariadb102 Software Collection while the rh-mariadb101 Software Collection is still installed because these Collections do not conflict. - Inspect configuration of rh-mariadb102, which is stored in the
/etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/my.cnf
file and the/etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/my.cnf.d/
directory. Compare it with configuration of rh-mariadb101 stored in/etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/my.cnf
and/etc/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/my.cnf.d/
and adjust it if necessary. - All data of the rh-mariadb101 Software Collection is stored in the
/var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb101/lib/mysql/
directory unless configured differently. Copy the whole content of this directory to/var/opt/rh/rh-mariadb102/lib/mysql/
. You can move the content but remember to back up your data before you continue to upgrade. Make sure the data are owned by themysql
user and SELinux context is correct. - Start the rh-mariadb102 database server.
service rh-mariadb102-mariadb start
- Perform the data migration.
scl enable rh-mariadb102 mysql_upgrade
If theroot
user has a non-empty password defined (it should have a password defined), it is necessary to call the mysql_upgrade utility with the-p
option and specify the password.scl enable rh-mariadb102 -- mysql_upgrade -p
5.2. Migrating to MongoDB 3.4
5.2.1. Notable Differences Between MongoDB 3.2 and MongoDB 3.4
General Changes
scl enable
command for correct functioning of the binaries and scripts provided by the rh-mongodb34* packages.
Compatibility Changes
3.4
using the featureCompatibilityVersion
command:
- Support for creating read-only views from existing collections or other views
- Index version
v: 2
, which adds support for collation, decimal data and case-insensitive indexes - Support for the
decimal128
format with the newdecimal
data type
5.2.2. Upgrading from the rh-mongodb32 to the rh-mongodb34 Software Collection
Important
/var/opt/rh/rh-mongodb32/lib/mongodb/
directory. In addition, see the compatibility changes to ensure that your applications and deployments are compatible with MongoDB 3.4.
- Install the MongoDB servers and shells from the rh-mongodb34 Software Collections:
~]#
yum install rh-mongodb34
- Stop the MongoDB 3.2 server:
~]#
systemctl stop rh-mongodb32-mongod.service
Use theservice rh-mongodb32-mongodb stop
command on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 system. - Copy your data to the new location:
~]#
cp -a /var/opt/rh/rh-mongodb32/lib/mongodb/* /var/opt/rh/rh-mongodb34/lib/mongodb/
- Configure the
rh-mongodb34-mongod
daemon in the/etc/opt/rh/rh-mongodb34/mongod.conf
file. - Start the MongoDB 3.4 server:
~]#
systemctl start rh-mongodb34-mongod.service
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, use theservice rh-mongodb34-mongodb start
command instead. - Enable backwards-incompatible features:
~]$
scl enable rh-mongodb34 'mongo --host localhost --port 27017 admin' --eval 'db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "3.4" } )'
If themongod
server is configured with enabled access control, add the--username
and--password
options tomongo
command.Note that it is recommended to run the deployment after the upgrade without enabling these features first.
5.3. Migrating to MySQL 5.7
my.cnf
files need to be changed to prevent these specific resources from conflicting.
5.3.1. Notable Differences Between MySQL 5.6 and MySQL 5.7
- The mysql-bench subpackage is not included in the rh-mysql57 Software Collection.
- Since MySQL 5.7.7, the default SQL mode includes
NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER
. Therefore it is necessary to create MySQL accounts using theCREATE USER
statement because theGRANT
statement no longer creates a user by default. See the upstream documentation for details.
5.3.2. Upgrading to the rh-mysql57 Software Collection
Important
- Install the rh-mysql57 Software Collection.
yum install rh-mysql57-mysql-server
- Inspect the configuration of rh-mysql57, which is stored in the
/etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql57/my.cnf
file and the/etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql57/my.cnf.d/
directory. Compare it with the configuration of rh-mysql56 stored in/etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql56/my.cnf
and/etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql56/my.cnf.d/
and adjust it if necessary. - Stop the rh-mysql56 database server, if it is still running.
service rh-mysql56-mysqld stop
- All data of the rh-mysql56 Software Collection is stored in the
/var/opt/rh/rh-mysql56/lib/mysql/
directory. Copy the whole content of this directory to/var/opt/rh/rh-mysql57/lib/mysql/
. You can also move the content but remember to back up your data before you continue to upgrade. - Start the rh-mysql57 database server.
service rh-mysql57-mysqld start
- Perform the data migration.
scl enable rh-mysql57 mysql_upgrade
If theroot
user has a non-empty password defined (it should have a password defined), it is necessary to call the mysql_upgrade utility with the-p
option and specify the password.scl enable rh-mysql57 -- mysql_upgrade -p
5.4. Migrating to PostgreSQL 9.6
5.4.1. Notable Differences Between PostgreSQL 9.5 and PostgreSQL 9.6
scl enable
command for correct functioning of the binaries and scripts provided by the rh-postgreqsl96* packages. Note that the *-syspaths packages conflict with the corresponding packages from the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.

5.4.2. Migrating from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Version of PostgreSQL to the PostgreSQL 9.6 Software Collection
pg_upgrade
tool (recommended), or dump the database data into a text file with SQL commands and import it in the new database. Note that the second method is usually significantly slower and may require manual fixes; see the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this upgrade method. The following procedures are applicable for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system versions of PostgreSQL.
Important
/var/lib/pgsql/data/
directory.
Procedure 5.1. Fast Upgrade Using the pg_upgrade
Tool
- Stop the old PostgreSQL server to ensure that the data is not in an inconsistent state. To do so, type the following at a shell prompt as
root
:service postgresql stop
To verify that the server is not running, type:service postgresql status
- Verify that the old directory
/var/lib/pgsql/data/
exists:file /var/lib/pgsql/data/
and back up your data. - Verify that the new data directory
/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/
does not exist:file /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/
If you are running a fresh installation of PostgreSQL 9.6, this directory should not be present in your system. If it is, back it up by running the following command asroot
:mv /var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data{,-scl-backup}
- Upgrade the database data for the new server by running the following command as
root
:scl enable rh-postgresql96 -- postgresql-setup --upgrade
Alternatively, you can use the/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/root/usr/bin/postgresql-setup --upgrade
command.Note that you can use the--upgrade-from
option for upgrade from different versions of PostgreSQL. The list of possible upgrade scenarios is available using the--upgrade-ids
option.It is recommended that you read the resulting/var/lib/pgsql/upgrade_rh-postgresql96-postgresql.log
log file to find out if any problems occurred during the upgrade. - Start the new server as
root
:service rh-postgresql96-postgresql start
It is also advised that you run theanalyze_new_cluster.sh
script as follows:su - postgres -c 'scl enable rh-postgresql96 ~/analyze_new_cluster.sh'
- Optionally, you can configure the PostgreSQL 9.6 server to start automatically at boot time. To disable the old system PostgreSQL server, type the following command as
root
:chkconfig postgresql off
To enable the PostgreSQL 9.6 server, type asroot
:chkconfig rh-postgresql96-postgresql on
- If your configuration differs from the default one, make sure to update configuration files, especially the
/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
configuration file. Otherwise only thepostgres
user will be allowed to access the database.
Procedure 5.2. Performing a Dump and Restore Upgrade
- Ensure that the old PostgreSQL server is running by typing the following at a shell prompt as
root
:service postgresql start
- Dump all data in the PostgreSQL database into a script file. As
root
, type:su - postgres -c 'pg_dumpall > ~/pgdump_file.sql'
- Stop the old server by running the following command as
root
:service postgresql stop
- Initialize the data directory for the new server as
root
:scl enable rh-postgresql96-postgresql -- postgresql-setup --initdb
- Start the new server as
root
:service rh-postgresql96-postgresql start
- Import data from the previously created SQL file:
su - postgres -c 'scl enable rh-postgresql96 "psql -f ~/pgdump_file.sql postgres"'
- Optionally, you can configure the PostgreSQL 9.6 server to start automatically at boot time. To disable the old system PostgreSQL server, type the following command as
root
:chkconfig postgresql off
To enable the PostgreSQL 9.6 server, type asroot
:chkconfig rh-postgresql96-postgresql on
- If your configuration differs from the default one, make sure to update configuration files, especially the
/var/opt/rh/rh-postgresql96/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
configuration file. Otherwise only thepostgres
user will be allowed to access the database.
