Hi,
I want to run the postgresql-8.0.4-binaries-no-installer.zip version
of the postgresql in windows 2000 environment. When I run initdb
command I got the following error message.
D:\softwares\postgresql-8.0.4-binaries-no-installer\pgsql\bin>initdb -D ../data
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "shma001".
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale English_United Kingdom.125
.

The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent
possible system security compromises. See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.

initdb: removing contents of data directory "../data"
Can I any body tell me how to run this version of postgresql server.
