Installation problem

From

Hi

 I installed the postgresql 7.1.3 using the cygwin setup program.
The setup.exe version is 2.125.2.10.
When i tried to run "initidb" to create the database i got the following
error

"The input file '/usr/share/postgresql/template1.bki' needed by  does not
belong to PostgreSQL 7.1.2.  Check your installation or specify the
correct path using the -L option."

Why this happened and how can i correct this and run postgresql.


regards

Did you install with the same user as you are now trying to run initdb with?
Is the template1.bki where it thinks it is?

Hi,

I have a problem in creating the user on the command prompt. The default
user is 'administrator' and when I run commands 'useradd' or 'addusr', it
doesn't work with the bash error message, 'command not found'.

How do I create a user or is it okay if I populate all my database with
'administrator' as a user??

-anil.

Did you forget to read the README?

    /usr/doc/Cygwin/postgresql-7.1.3.README

Yes, if this is just for casual (i.e., not production) use.

I presume that you meant to reply to the list too...

If by "psql windows" you mean Win32 psql, then no.  If you mean Cygwin
psql, then yes -- just install PostgreSQL 7.1.3 via Cygwin's setup.exe.
