PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta
Operating system: Windows 2000
Description: Problem running PostgreSQL as service
Details:
In 8.0 RC1, because of bug in -D parsing in pg_ctl I am unable to run
postgres as service when I have space in data path - when i register it with
pg_ctl register -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\data" and try to run it then
it won't work and in event log I have this: pg_ctl: no database directory
specified and environment variable PGDATA unset.
I have found very simple solution, just added + 1 in one of xmallocs and it
seems to work, diff follows:
