Peter, thank you for your efforts in try to help me and sorry for send the message directly to you, not for the list. No success yet - I'm starting (and stoping) manually the 2 extra services.
About the locale, I removed this option at initdb - I will try to solve this after the service is running. If I use pg_ctl runservice, I got the message: 1063 ERROR_FAILED_SERVICE_CONTROLLER_CONNECT The service process could not connect to the service controller.
If I use pg_ctl register, I continue to receive the same error - no matter what I do: can not open the service manager
I made a Google search and looks like no one have problems with pg_ctl register. Probably I am doing a stupid thing, but I can not see what. Sugestions?
Well - I happen to have Windows 7 on my personal PC.
-switched off UAC via tools in msconfig and restarted Windows. -started Windows service 'Secondary Logon' and set it to automatic -initialized a new cluster (BTW: the locale you specified does'nt exists on Windows. Windows uses codepages instead.) -registered it: pg_ctl register -N "postgresql-8.4_2nd" -U postgres -P "password" -D "C:\data5" -w
I just used the basic options. Check the docs for the options that fit your needs.
