Thread: PostgreSQL Startup Problem on Win98
Hi All, The PostgreSQL binary version i got works like a charm on WinXP (Office System). But when i try to run the same at home. It doesnt start up. c:>initdb command works like a charm, it creates data directory, with template1 as database. c:>postmaster command fails it says something like FATAL Error Database "karthikeyan" not created but when i try c:> pg_ctl start -l logfile it doesnt give any error and database is started after that when i issue. c:>psql -d template1 i get this error message Is the server running on localhost and accepting TCP/IP connection on port 5432 When i checked this conf file [ postgresql.conf ] port = 5432 is commented out What am i doing wrong here. PS : I didnt face this issue on WinXP, only on Win98 Looking forward for some response. Karthikeyan B

There is no -i option the version i use. Anyway i m just happy that it works on WinXP eventhough it doesnt on win98.
