Hi, On starting the server using pg_ctl command the following
message is shown. server starting C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin>2010-09-30 14:36:07
ISTLOG: could not create file "postmaster.opts": Permission denied. Thanks & Regards, Vishnu S From: Sachin Srivastava
[mailto:sachin.srivastava@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Please keep the thread on the mailing list] From the logs, the initdb is successful but there were
some error while creating the postgres service. I believe you are not using the
latest 8.4.4 installer as that installer has some detailed logging which is
helpful in realizing where exactly is the problem. Though since you have the initdb successful, you can
manually create the service using pg_ctl command (See: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/app-pg-ctl.html) On Sep 30, 2010, at 2:10 PM, Vishnu S. wrote:
Hi, Please find the attached PostgreSQL installation log file. I have used Uninstaller to uninstall the PostgreSQL and then the
data directory is removed manually. Thanks & Regards, Vishnu S From: Sachin Srivastava
[mailto:sachin.srivastava@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Can you send the installation log
(%TEMP%\install-postgresql.log)? In case, Have you used the uninstaller to uninstall the
previous instance or manually removed the directories? On Sep 30, 2010, at 12:53 PM, Vishnu S. wrote:
Hi, I have uninstalled the PostgreSQL 8.4 and removed the related
directories from the system. Again I have installed the PostgreSQL 8.4 on the
same folder. Now the PostgreSQL server is not starting. When I tried to start
the postgreSQL service from the Windows Service manager, the following message
is shown. “The PostgreSQL Server 8.4 service on Local Computer started and then
stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for
example, the Performance Logs and Alerts service”. Host :- localhost Port :- 5432 Database :- postgres Thanks & Regards, Vishnu S <install-postgresql.log> |
