Re: During InitDB: could not access file "$

Hello,

Did you have McAfee Viruscan 7 installed on your computer?

I had the same error one month ago, and I solve it by disable the Hostile
Actvity Watch Kernel (HAWK) for mail and script in Viruscan. Now
postmaster/postgres process start correctly and you can use createdb and
others tools like pgAdmin III.



Regards

Laurent Ballester
