Hi all On Stack Overflow I was following the efforts of a user who was unable to install Pg. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11656410/postgresql-installation-issue#comment15679519_11656410 They've just come back to let me know they found a solution to the issue, and it's one that might be worth knowing about, saying that the following resolved their issue: http://www.geekscribes.net/blog/2009/04/22/postgresql-database-cluster-initialisation-failed-solution/ Basically, they had to install in a non-default location outside Program Files. Odd.
8.3 would put the data directory right into the install directory if I'm not mistaken. It's not really surprising that this won't work. It should also work if installed into program files but then a different location for the data directory is chosen during installation. If I remember correctly the 8.3 installer didn't make that easy to find. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
