Hi
I hate to do the "my distro is better than yours" thing, but typing "apt-get
install postgresql postgresql-client apache php4 php4-pgsql" at the command
line on a Debian system will download and install it all automatically for
you. Just configure the postgres settings to how you want them, edit the
php.ini and httpd.conf files and that's it.
I run a debian-based system at home with postgresql, apache and PHP4, and
I've also set up web servers with this configuration on Debian boxes. If
you're looking for ease-of-maintainence of a Linux server, then Debian is
really the one you want to look at.
