The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4850 Logged by: ALEC TEBBUTT Email address: suns...@dccnet.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3.7.1 Operating system: Win XP Pro SP3 Description: install of PostGIS password error Details:
When installing PostGIS 1.3.6 the password for my user "postgres" is required. My password contains punctuation characters such as caret "^". These do not seem to be passed correctly to PostgreSQL as the password does not authenticate. I can login to PG Admin III with that password no problem. To get the install to work I had to change my postgres superuser password to something simple with only normal characters.
