Postgres.app with PostGIS on MacOS X Lion

gistfile1.txt

Running locally on MacOS X Lion

1. You may have postgres running locally on your machine on port 5432. We'll need to shut it down, 
since we're going to use Postgres.app (postgresapp.com). I had previously downloaded PostgreSQL 
from EnterpriseDB (http://enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads). 

This was my process.

	- `cd /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin`
	- Find out where postgres stores your data with `ps aux | grep postgres` (My data was in /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/data)
	- ` sudo su postgres`
	- `./pg_ctl stop -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/data`
	- Note the message 'server stopped.'

2. Download and install Postgres.app from postgresapp.com.

3. Drag Postgres.app into your Applications folder.
