The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4820 Logged by: Robert Walker Email address: r.wal...@mtcworldwide.com PostgreSQL version: 8.4 beta 2 Operating system: Windows XP SP2 32-bit Description: PostgreSQL service won't start after using Tuning Wizard Details:
I installed PostgreSQL 8.4 Beta 2 with a completely fresh install, and then ran the Tuning Wizard. After a simple run of the Tuning Wizard, the attempt to start postmaster via the Windows service would time-out/fail. The problem is apparently due to the fact that the tuning wizard will add the "max_fsm_pages" and "max_fsm_relations" parameters to postgresql.conf, despite the fact that 8.4 supposedly no longer uses these parameters. If I comment out those settings, the service starts without problems. Perhaps those settings shouldn't be added to an 8.4 postgresql.conf by the wizard, otherwise new users would be alarmed by the resulting failure to start the server. Also, nothing in the logs in the pg_log directory was written that gave any clue as to why the server wouldn't start. -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
