I have just read, thanks.
But I have noticed that some things fails during PostgreSQL installation on some
Win2k, such as:
- under bash files in /usr/bin are owned by 'unknown' - I have to chown them to proper
user by hand
- ipc-daemon service isn't created - I must do it by my own using sc utility
- file /usr/bin/postmaster is missing - I must create it
- "PostgreSQL Server" service isn't created as well - I must use script
/usr/bin/serviceinstall.bat to create it
After performing those commands Postgres really wants to work (tested on only one
machine). But the strangest thing is that those problems seems to appear only on Win
2000 & 2003 and, moreover, not always. For example yesterday my coleaques gave
me two _identically_ configured machines - the same hardware and with the same
software installed on them. On one machine everything seems to work perfectly, but
on the second one problems occurred. Why???
