Hi,
I'm trying to start automatically 3 postgresql services in Windows without success.
What I already do:
1) Install postgres8.4.2 binaries for Windows - ok, this service installs automatically without any action mine;
2) Created 2 new clusters:
C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4>bin\initdb
--pgdata "C:\data5" --encoding 'UTF8' --locale 'pt_BR.UTF-8' --username postgres
C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4>bin\initdb
--pgdata "C:\data7" --encoding 'UTF8' --locale 'pt_BR.UTF-8' --username
postgres
and changed the postgres.conf contained in each of these directories:
in C:\data5: port=5430
in C:\data7: port=5434
3) Started pg_ctl manually and worked with the clusters/databases inside pgAdminIII, including port 5432:
C:\data5>"C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_ctl" -D "C:\data5" -N postgres842w5430
-l logfile5430 start
C:\data7>"C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_ctl" -D "C:\data7" -N postgres842w5434
-l logfile5434 start
But, I want to start each cluster automatically.
1) If I try to register
C:\data5>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_ctl" register -N "postgres842w5430" -D "C:\data5" -U postgres -P postgres
comes the message:
can not open the service manager
2) In regedit I can see:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\postgresql-8.4
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Services\pgsql-8.4
but, how can I add a new service?
In Installations there is a key "Data Directory" - then, to start another cluster I needed to install binary PostgreSQL again with new parameters?
3) I tried to left these commands at autoexec.nt without success.
4) I tried to use batchrun to add these commands at startup and worked, but I needed an icon to stop the processes.
Help.
How can I start these 3 data base areas as a service in Windows?
Thanks in advance.
