Thread: Bug #917: SERVICE DENIAL ON XP
Oluwatope Akinniyi (topeakinniyi@yahoo.co.uk) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description SERVICE DENIAL ON XP Long Description 1. During Installation of Postgresql on Windows XP it defaults the service account to the Administrator which is not a prominentaccount on Windows XP (but a hidden account). It reports that Administrator account is unknown. I walked aroundthis by a. refusing the installer to restart after installation b. delete the service c. edit the service installer script and change the account to another account. d. reinstall the service e. restart the system 2. The annoying thing is that after some shutting and restating windows the service would refuse to start for reason notwell defined. I think we need to do more on the strength of postgresql on windows. Is any body running the latest postgresql windows versionon any commercial scale? Is this problem peculiar to Windows XP or is it better on Windows 2000 or NT4? Sample Code No file was uploaded with this report
We don't ship a version that runs on XP. Complain to whereever you got if rom. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org wrote: > Oluwatope Akinniyi (topeakinniyi@yahoo.co.uk) reports a bug with a severity of 2 > The lower the number the more severe it is. > > Short Description > SERVICE DENIAL ON XP > > Long Description > 1.

I have 3 notebook with windows XP Home and 3 with windows 2000 professional that are using postgreSQL as database. Databases are running from about a year without a problem from release 7.1 to the last 7.3.2 now. I'm using the cygwin release from www.cygwin.com.=20 -----Messaggio originale----- Da: pgsql-bugs-owner@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-bugs-owner@postgresql.org] Per conto di pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org Inviato: luned=EC 24 marzo 2003 19.22 A: pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org Oggetto: [BUGS] Bug #917: SERVICE DENIAL ON XP Oluwatope Akinniyi (topeakinniyi@yahoo.co.uk) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is.
