The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2558 Logged by: Dror Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4 Operating system: win 2003 Description: initDB failed to run Details:
On one of mine win 2003 machine ( on any other win2003 machine everything work as expected), I failed to install postgress in service mode using the MSI package , after short investigation i found a failure in the initDB phase, so I install postgress without running the initDB and then ran the initDB manually with the debug option set, (The user is not an Administrator). The strange thing is that EnterpriseDB which is based on postgres works fine. The problem seems to be in the initDB.c source file in the test_connections(void) and test_buffers(void) functions. Here is the procedures and the output of the initDB. After the installation I did: - Runas /user:V_MYUSER CMD - initDB -D "E:\Postgres\Data" -d -U V_MYUSER Running in debug mode. The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "V_MYUSER". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale English_United States.1252. fixing permissions on existing directory E:/Postgres\Data ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/global ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_xlog ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_xlog/archive_status ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_clog ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_subtrans ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_twophase ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_multixact/members ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_multixact/offsets ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/base ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/base/1 ... ok creating directory E:/Postgres\Data/pg_tblspc ... ok selecting default max_connections ...
