PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta
Operating system: WIN XP Home edition
Description: Installation problem, connection fails
Details:
Hello !!
PostgreSQL 8.0 Datbase Server 8.0-beta2-dev3
Installation runs fine until attempting to associate procedural languages
with the base. Connection with the base fails, the same happens with
pg_admin.
Database systems logfile has entries like:
2004-09-28 22:27:20 FLE Standard Time LOG: select() failed in statistics
buffer: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
2004-09-28 22:27:20 FLE Standard Time LOG: select() failed in statistics
collector: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
2004-09-28 22:27:20 FLE Standard Time LOG: statistics collector process
(PID 3792) was terminated by signal 1
2004-09-28 22:27:26 FLE Standard Time LOG: could not receive data from
client: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
Searching the web with the "An operation was attempted.." phrase yielded
results that suggested something had gone astray with "winsock". A suggested
remedy was to clear "winsock" and "winsock2" entries from the registry and
to re-install TCP/IP protocoll. This resolved the problem but an attempt to
reinstall the database reintroduced the problem only to be fixed with the
same kludge.
Yours sincerely: Markus Varsta
