Hi,
I posted the following message to the General list a while ago. I am
still not able to run postgres at all.
I am trying to install Postgres 8.4. I had 8.3 installed. Because
I didn't have any important data, to make it easier I removed
8.3, the data directory, removed the Postgres windows user and
removed all registry values I could find. I also shut down my
anti virus and anti spyware software that was running (and
restarted my computer).
When I run the postgres installer
(postgresql-8.4.0-1-windows.exe) I get an error about the file
postgresSQL.conf not being found. When the installer finishes I
have an empty data directory. I also tried installing the data
directory in a place other than the program files directory. I
have done this a few times now and I'm just not seeing what I'm
missing. When I originally installed Postgres 8.3 I didn't use
the one click installer. Since then I have upgraded to another
8.3.x without any issues.
Since then I have tried the 8.4.1 installer. I sent someone my log
file found in the temp directory and they said it was user
permissions. I am using an admin account and I have double checked
that. This is the same user I originally installed with and upgraded
with before. I tried running initdb from the bin folder and that did
nothing.
What error you get when you run initdb?? (Also what exact command you run?)
I really need to get postgres installed on this computer again. Its
really difficult for me to work without it.
