Interesting. I've always had system stability problems after launching either it or filemon. I'm about to configure a clean Vista install (post hard disk failure) so I'll have to re-test. Perhaps there was a hook DLL or similar nastyness interfering. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

Process monitor works perfectly, but seems to lack some of the features of process explorer. This could have been system configuration specific, but I've seen enough reports to think it's probably not. Anyway, this is way off topic. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

Re: [BUGS] BUG #4267: initdb fails
2008/6/26 Vadim Karacharsky [EMAIL PROTECTED]: No, only Program Files. And I tried to install pgsql 8.2 (I have installed it sooner on that machine before OS reinstall) - the same error. May be problem in filesystem permissions? It's possible. The fact that your running SP3 has also got me wondering a little. I assume you do have write permissions on C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3? If you run from the base install directory with the following command, do you get the same error? bin\initdb -D data -E UTF-8 --no-locale -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs

Yeah - unfortunately though recent experience with similar hard-to-find bugs have not normally shown up in PM. They've been much more subtle, usually requiring much poking around in Process Explorer which is difficult to do via email. If you can provide a Process Monitor trace of the failed initdb, it would be useful to take a look Vadim - even if it just eliminates the obvious problems. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
