Re: can't install postgres 8.4 on windows 2003 server - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

What happens if you register the service with pg_ctl directly as:

<Path to PGHOME>\bin\pg_ctl.exe  register -N <ServiceName> -U <Username> -P <Password> -D <Path to DataDirectory> -w

Thanks Sachin for your response. I have attached the install-postgresql.log.
Also, if it helps, I have the following error in my event viewer: pg_ctl:
could not register service "postgresql-8.4": error code 0
The postgres service is not listed under services.

Thanks.

Hi,

When I try to install postgres 8.4 on windows server 2003, I get the
following error: "A non-fatal error occurred whilst loading database
modules. Please check the installation logs in
C:/docs&setttings/user/local
settings/temp for details". The log file doesn't have any error, but it
looks like it stopped in the middle. Also, it doesn't install the
postgres
service. I have attached the log file. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

There must be a log file with name install-postgresql.log in the %TEMP% 
directory.
