Hi,
We currently run a Postgres 8.3 database on a Windows Server 2k3 with Service Pack 2. I went to upgrade to 8.4 and ran into some problems. At first I did not have the local user postgres’s password, it was automatically generated when 8.3 was installed and no one remembered what it was. I did some research and found that I would be able to remove the user and let 8.4 create the user with a password of my choosing. This worked all fine and dandy. While installing, when the initial database was to be created there was an error that occurred. The error was:
Exception Processing Message c0000135 Parameters 75a851d8 75a851d8 75a851d8 75a851d8
At first I believed it to be a permissions error, Server 2k3 can be quirky sometimes. I uninstalled, ensured that the postgres user had full control of the folder (and all sub folders) that the database is place in and installed. Again I had the same error. I did some searching and found some others that had the same error. The resolution to their problem was to use the initdb executable manually. While trying this I again received the same error. I am unsure of what this error means and would greatly appreciate anyone’s insight and help.
Thank you
Sincerely,
Jonathan Schindler
