Oops, I gave wrong answer. Sorry :-)
Check if Secondary logon service is running. If it is not running, start it and try again to start PostgreSQL. It should work now.On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 8:33 AM, Ammar Fallaha <ammar.fallaha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
We are trying to switch from Oracle 10g to Postgre but I am having few technical issues which I am listing here and I hope someone can help.
Server Status:
- I am installing âpostgresql-9.0.2-1-windows.exeâ package on Windows Server 2003 SP2 with 2 LAN Cards
- The server is part of a domain and I am installing using the Administrator login
- Before installation we have removed completely the AV software
Installation:
- We have chose the following directories during installation:
D:\PostgreSQL\9.0D:\PostgreSQL\9.0\data
- The PG user was created in the domain users with a pw that was accepted
- During installation, The locale is English, United States and not to [Default locale]
- During installation, starting the database server, this error shows
Warning: Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
Failed to start the database server.I clicked OK and continue
- After installation completion, the service "postgresql-9.0 - PostgreSQL Server 9.0" will fail. It is setup to start Automatically
Services: could not start the postgresql-9.0 service on Local Computer.Error 1069: The service did not start due to a login failure.
- When checking the service login, I found out the user to be .\postgres so browse for it in the domain and changed it to DOMAIN_NAME\postgres, re-start the service it worked
Configuration Problems:
1. In postgresql.conf file when I changed the listen address to one of my LAN card to channel all traffic through it by doing: listen_addresses = '192.168.1.212' instead of listen_addresses = '*', re-starting the service will not work, changing the entry back and re-starting the service will not work, changing the entry back and re-start the whole server will work and the service will start
2. In pg_hba.conf I have the following entries:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5host all all 192.168.1.211/32 md5
host all all 192.168.1.212/32 md5
host all all 192.168.1.4/32 md5
using PGAdmin from the server itself, I created 2 New login Role â1â and â2â , 2 Tablespace â1â and â2â as this
D:\tablespace\1D:\tablespace\2
which is next to the PG directory D:\PostgreSQL
and had to gave permission to the user: DOMAIN_NAME\postgres to D:\tablespace directory
then created the database â1â and â2â with the prospective user as owner and the tablespace
Logging from the remote machine with IP: 192.168.1.4 using the user 1, I can see both 1 and 2 dbs
however when I changed the pg_hba.conf to
host 1 all 192.168.1.4/32 md5
restarting the service, I canât login at all. This entry does not work
however; these entries will work:
host all all 192.168.1.4/32 md5
host all 1 192.168.1.4/32 md5
But still can see all the dbs
I need to have each user sees its own DB, how can I do that
** More to follow
