Re: [GENERAL] postgres service account
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I found this same problem. The uninstall really needs to remove this account. Either that, or the next install process needs to be able to get the random password somehow. Open a command prompt, then use the command "net user /delete postgres" to get rid of the account. "net user" shows all users. - -- Jim McMaster mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Sent: Friday, March 04, 2005 3:55 PM To: usya usya; pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: Re: [GENERAL] postgres service account Why don't you try to use another account for the service - while reinstalling just fill in 'posgres2' as service account...

[GENERAL] Cannot get PostgreSQL to work with Ruby On Rails
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I am having problems getting PostgreSQL to work with Ruby On Rails. On Windows, I cannot get ActiveRecord to recognize the pure ruby Postgres driver. On linux, it complains about a missing constant with the compiled postgres driver. I suspect something wrong with the database.yml file, but cannot figure out the problem. Is there anyone who has gotten this to work? Thank you. - -- Jim McMaster mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQqYdtmaP5l7/atSJEQIT2ACg035mDpSTw5LHV/FExRJun2n9Tw8An0Bb afgJnKq076eEIDKOculhiKuz =R5Jt -END PGP SIGNATURE- ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
[GENERAL] Problem with postgres installation
I am trying to use the Windows installer for postgtes-8.0.3, for Windows XP SP 2. I had installed and de-installed it previously. The install fails, because the postgres user is defined on the system, and I do not know the password. The postgres user is not visible on the Windows User Accounts panel, so I cannot delete it that way. How can I get rid of the user so I can reinstall postgres? Thank you for any assistance. -- Jim McMaster mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

A bit of googling should find some step-by-step instructions. Thank you.
