Dear all, I have a problem with registering a postgreSQL Server on windows. I am using PostgreSQL 8.0 on windows xp. I created a second database cluster using C:\ProgramFiles\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>initdb -D --locale=C E:\DataFiles\PostgreSQL\ 8.0\dbc-2 Now I try to register the server in the windows services. C:\ProgramFiles\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>pg_ctl register -N "PostgreSQL Hipergate Serv er" -U ".\postgres" -P "postgres17free" -w -D "E:/DataFiles/PostgreSQL/8.0/dbc-2" -l serverlog -o "-p 5433" I get the message "could not open service manager" Note I opened a cmd.exe session as postgres user. Can anyone help me out here? regards, Danny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
