The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4267 Logged by: Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 8.3 Operating system: Windows XP SP3 Description: initdb fails Details:
Hello, initdb fails when I tried to initialize the cluster (the same error with using installer and manual install): C:\Program Files\PostgreSQl\8.3\bin>initdb -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data" -E UTF-8 --no-locale The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. The default text search configuration will be set to "english". fixing permissions on existing directory C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data ... ok creating subdirectories ... initdb: could not create directory "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL": File exists initdb: removing contents of data directory "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data" C:\Program Files\PostgreSQl\8.3\bin> Of course initdb runs from unprivileged "postgres" user and I tried short path names.
