Hello, My hosting provider is unwilling to install postgresql-contrib package, fearing that it will negatively impact other users, or security flaws and so on. Are there any risks involved? Is there a workaround to get ezpublish working on postgresql without pgcrypto digest function installed? Regards.Andre Felipe

I don't believe there are any workarounds for this. eZ publish will not work without the <i>digest</i> function provided by the contrib package.
But installing the contrib package should be quite safe, you still have to make the functions available to each database by running the included SQLs in the package.

Hello, Many thanks for your message. Instead of installing the whole postgresql-contrib package, he could install only the pgcrypto from sources and ezpublish will run? Regards.Andre Felipe

Yes, just install the <i>pgcrypto.sql</i> file as mentioned in this FAQ:http://ez.no/content/view/full/63327
