From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John R Pierce Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 3:38 PM To: PostgreSQL Subject: installer woes, 9.1 on windows 2008 R2 trying to install 9.1.9 64bit on a win2008 r2 server and getting a failure of the initdb phase, with no clue why. I've installed the application on C:\postgresql\9.1\ and the data on D:\postgresql\9.1\data ... after the first try, I added the LOCAL\postgres user to the permissions on the D:\postgresql\9.1 directory and gave it full control, this propagated to the .\data dir too, then I tried running the installer again (since there's no clues how to manually invoke the initdb process properly). same error, no clues. 'problem running post-install step. .... The database cluster initialization failed'. is there an installation log somewhere? I haven't found it in either \postgresql\ path. if it matters, this server is a member of the corporate active directory, as is my user account that I ran the installer from (but said user account is a member o the local Administrators, and the PG installer invoked the privilege elevation thing when it started) -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast Look for bitrock_installer.log in the \Users\<account_you_are_using>\AppData\Local\Temp. Or just do search for bitrock_installer.log file.
