Thread: PostgreSQL 8.0.1-2 WinXP Services
Can anybody please tell me all the WinXP services that need to be run when someone is trying to install the Database? The reason I am asking this is because I can not install the database. I tried everything and nothing works. So as a lasttry I am thinking of fiddling with the services. Maybe the installer needs a service that is not running at the moment.
Could you give more information as to why you cannot install - Do you receive an error message? Does the installer fail to launch at all? Kind Regards, Neil Saunders.

you will find explicit instructions to install on WinXP Home (should work on WinXP Pro, too) here... http://www.geocities.com/operationsengineer1/ download the appropriate pdf file, follow the install instructions. if this doesn't work, post a detailed explanation of the problem... where you had the problem and what resulted... given that, someone will have a chance at actually helping you. best of luck. --- Çëßáò Ãêïõíôáñüðïõëïò <ig@freemail.gr> wrote: > > Can anybody please tell me all the WinXP services > that need to be run when someone is trying to > install the Database? > > The reason I am asking this is because I can not > install the database.

Thank you all for replying but nothing suggested can solve my problem. I should tell that I tried to install the DB to the default folders and the following folders: 1) PostgreSQL files in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL 2) Databases files in D:\DBASES Neither worked. I am giving you below the error messages I get during installation. Some of you asked for this information. So here it is. Maybe you can make some sense of it if you are experienced enough. It is all Greek to me: ********************************************************* During the "Activating procedural languages" installation part, I get: "Failed to connect to the database. Procedural languages files are installed, but are not activated in any databases." When I press OK it continues and I get: "server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request." When I press OK again, it continues and I get: "Failed to connect to the 'template1' database. Contrib files are installed, but are not activated in any databases." Pressing OK for a final time gives me this: "could not send startup packet: Connection reset by peer (0x00002746/10054)" ____________________________________________________________________ http://www.freemail.gr - ������ �������� ������������ ������������. http://www.freemail.gr - free email service for the Greek-speaking.
why are you installing 8.0.1-2 instead of 8.1? did you follow the steps outlined in the downloadable pdf found here... http://www.geocities.com/operationsengineer1/ did you have a prior version of pgsql installed or is this a fresh install? --- Ilias Goudaropoulos <ig@freemail.gr> wrote: > Thank you all for replying but nothing suggested can > solve my problem. > > I should tell that I tried to install the DB to the > default folders and > the following folders: > 1) PostgreSQL files in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL > 2) Databases files in D:\DBASES > > Neither worked. > > I am giving you below the error messages I get > during installation. > Some of you asked for this information.
