Re: [GENERAL] postgresql 8.3rc1 on vista

Yes I checked the file permissions... In fact I logged in as the user
specified in the service and started postgres via the command line
with
postgres -D ../data
and the postgres.conf parameters were loaded as confirmed with a show
all in psql

And still running postgresql from the service does not load the
parameters from the postgres.conf file.

So it does not seem like a permissions issue.

This seems to be an installer bug for VISTA

If I run postgres via the command prompt with:
postgres -D ../data
then the postgres.conf file is loaded as confirmed with a show all in
psql

If I start postgres via the service which is installed with installer
the postgres.conf file values are not loaded.

But I confirmed that the service is reading the postgres.conf file.
Just to test I deleted the file, and the service would not start.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Roger

[GENERAL] postgresql 8.3rc1 on vista

2008-01-20 Thread Niederland
On my laptop which I use for development (Windows VISTA), I tried
Postgresql 8.3 RC1.  I ran into one problem... It seems that either
the service is not finding the postgresql.conf file or not paying
attention to the search_path within it.  This worked in all the
previous 8.2.x, 8.1.x I've used.

I defined a search path which contains some of the schemas...

search_path = 'public,dmsif,rawrr,rawadp,quartz'# schema names

Using pgadmin (also the same result with my application).

Select * from qrtz_fired_triggers
returns:
ERROR:  relation qrtz_fired_triggers does not exist

and
select * from quartz.qrtz_fired_triggers
works as expected.

Just to verify the installation the service, is pointing to the
correct data directory.

Any suggestions?

Here's more information:  It appears that the postgresql.conf file is
not being used...

executing a show all; from psql
I see that the parameters are using the default values and not paying
attention to the settings in the postgresql.conf file.

The config_file has a value of c:/program files/PostgreSQL/8.3-rc1/
data/postgresql.conf
and the data_directory is c:/program files/PostgreSQL/8.3-rc1/data

I verified data is being placed under that directory and the database
is working as expected.
I also verified that changes in the hba_file (setting it to a trust
access) works.
hba_file has a value of c:/program files/PostgreSQL/8.3-rc1/data/
pg_hba.conf

Why aren't the changes in the postgresql.conf file reflected in the
show all; (of course after a restart via the service)?

Just a side note the executable path in the service shown below also
looks correct.
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3-rc1\bin\pg_ctl.exe runservice -w -N
pgsql-8.3-rc1 -D C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3-rc1\data\

Is the path to the postgresql.conf file handled differently then the
path to the pg_hba.conf file?

Thanks

Hello,

The first thing which should be checked on Vista - correct file access 
permissions. Did you create postgres.conf yourself?
