What versions of PostgreSQL does cPanel support?

Question

What versions of PostgreSQL does the cPanel software support? Can I install an updated version of PostgreSQL?

Answer

cPanel only supports the versions of PostgreSQL installed by the /scripts/installpostgres script, which will show what version it's going to install before you approve the installation:

[root@ ~]# /scripts/installpostgres
This script installs PostgreSQL 9.2.x or later.

PostgreSQL should only be installed using the script. You can view further details in the following documentation:
