Hi Jason,
That helped definitly.
In the window event log, I find :
Beginning is in french but important message (at the end) is in english.
Impossible de trouver la description de l'ID d'événement ( 0 ) dans la
source ( postmaster ). L'ordinateur local n'a peut-être pas les informations
de Registre nécessaires ou les fichiers DLL de messagerie pour afficher
les messages provenant d'un ordinateur distant postmaster : PID 1472 :
starting service `' failed: redirect_fd: open (1, /var/log/postmaster.log):
13, Permission denied.
I found that I had an existing postmaster.log that belong to someone else so
I could'nt overwrite it .
I deleted it and now service starts
Probable my first service problem was about LOCALE (which I changed from
'french' to 'C' before using initDB)
Then I made some test to find out why my service startup was wrong, by
changing user for Windows service (from postgres to mch user)
Then I still got an error about service, but I think cause had changed. It
was not a LOCALE error anymore but a write permission about postmaster.log
Thanks for your quick response..
As it is my first time using mailing list, should I answer all (including
your personal email + mailing group) like this mail or should I only write
to mailing group ?
Michel
