The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 2993 Logged by: Filippo Toso Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.2.3 Operating system: Windows 2000 SP4 Description: The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found ... Details:
Hi, I have downloaded the postgresql-8.2.3-1-binaries-no-installer.zip package. I have extracted it into C:\pgsql, I have created the C:\pgsql\data and then I have executed the following command (as Administrator): C:\pgsql\bin\initdb.exe -D C:\pgsql\data With the following result: ########################################################################### The program "postgres" is needed by initdb but was not found in the same directory as "C:/pgsql/bin/initdb.exe". Check your installation. ########################################################################### The "postgres" command is in the "C:/pgsql/bin/" folder and if I execute "C:\pgsql\bin\postgres.exe -V" I get: postgres (PostgreSQL) 8.2.3 If I execute the same command as a low privileged user initdb works correctly. Accordingly to the initdb.c CVS log this problem should have been solved one year ago with Revision 1.108. Do you think this is a bug or there is something I'm doing wrong? Sincerely, Filipo Toso ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
