Hello ! I've got a little problem with launching initdb on postgresql 7.1.2 under cygwin : when i launch it, it says : $ initdb -d -n -D $PG_DATA Running with debug mode on. Running with noclean mode on. Mistakes will not be cleaned up. Initdb variables: PGDATA=/data/pgsql datadir=/usr/share/postgresql PGPATH=/usr/bin TEMPFILE=/tmp/initdb.412 MULTIBYTE=SQL_ASCII MULTIBYTEID=0 POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=ssautetn POSTGRES_SUPERUSERID=1003 TEMPLATE1_BKI=/usr/share/postgresql/template1.bki GLOBAL_BKI=/usr/share/postgresql/global.bki TEMPLATE1_DESCR=/usr/share/postgresql/template1.description GLOBAL_DESCR=/usr/share/postgresql/global.description POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_hba.conf.sample PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_ident.conf.sample This database system will be initialized with username "ssautetn". This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process. Creating directory /data/pgsql Creating directory /data/pgsql/base Creating directory /data/pgsql/global Creating directory /data/pgsql/pg_xlog Creating template1 database in /data/pgsql/base/1 Running: /usr/bin/postgres -boot -x1 -C -F -D/data/pgsql -d template1 and then the postgres process freezes and take 100 % of cpu, never creating the template1 files, so i must kill it. As anyone an idea on what's happening ? thank's. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
