The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2718 Logged by: Andrus Moor Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2beta1 Operating system: Windows 2003 Enterprise server build 3790 (service pack 1) Description: Failed to run initdb, log file does not exist Details:
I ran msi installation package downloaded from postgresql.org from remote desktop. I selected Estonian locale, UTF-8 database encoding. After that I got error Failed to run initdb: !128 Please see the logfile in 'C:\program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2beta1\tmp\initdb.log'. Note! You must read/copy this logfile before you click OK, or it will be automatically removed. (this message is handwritten and may contains some typos since Ctrl+C does not work in error message box). I leaved the message box in screen and looked into C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2beta1\tmp directory. This directory is empty. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
