Re: [BUGS] no sufficient privileges to start system service

2012-05-05 Thread Amit Kapila
To strat the service on windows, the user (postgres, incase you didn't
change during installation) needs to be have administrative privilege and
service has to run as that user.

You can use Run as in windows to run the particular executable or change the
user in services.

the SERVICE account ('postgres') needs only 'run as service' privileges. 
the user doing the start/stop needs admin privs.

sorry, but i don't understand.  i am just following the steps.
what exactly should i do?


well, normally, the windows installer just works.  since it didn't, the 
process has to be troubleshooted, and you've not given us sufficient 
information to hazard a wild guess as to why.  you didn't even say what 
OS you're running under (we had to guess it was some version of MS 
Windows because you mentioned 'service'), or anything else.



anyways, this isn't a bug in postgres, so it really doesn't belong on 
the [bugs] list, would better be discussed on pg-general.
