What's the name of the account you are using? //Magnus
[back on list] Weird - that error indicates that the account that was either created or verified, suddenly was not available again!=20 So. Repeating the question, what was the name of the account? And adding the question - was this an account the installer created, or was it a pre-existing account? //Magnus =20 > -----Original Message----- > From: mattias [mailto:mattiasw@gmail.com]=20 > Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 11:35 AM > To: Magnus Hagander > Subject: Re: [BUGS] BUG #2042: Installation failed >=20 > No domains used on the computer.

With this, I assume it used the account "postgres", because that's the default. The question that remains is did this account exist before you started, or not? //Magnus
No, the account didn't exist before. I never installed postgresql before, so there was no reason for me to have a user called postgres. Sorry I cannot be of more help. -- Mattias On Nov 22, 2005, at 11:19 AM, Magnus Hagander wrote: > Please don't remove the list from the recipients. Added back. > >> This was on my Windows XP.
