Hm. It does for me. Do you get something in the eventlog? Perhaps it's incorrectly thinking it's running as a service, and logging there instead? Do you run this from the commandline, or from inside another program? Finally, you can try the initdb version at http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/initdb_pgctl_restricted_user_8.1.4.zip. It's the 8.1.4 initdb with the run-as-admin fixes from HEAD backpatched. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
