PostgreSQL version: 8.4.1-1
Operating system: Windows server 2003
Description: -i start up option blows pg_ctl program.
Details:
When I attempt to configure postgres to allow tcpip connections by adding
the -i option at startup, pg_ctl bombs by referencing address 0x0000. The
-i is added to the service startup parameters via the Registry.
I note also,"tcpip_socket" does not appear in installed postgresql.conf
Adding tcpip_socket=true had no effect on the -i bomb out.
I have Net 2.0 & IIS installed. I used the postgres-8.4.1-1.zip for my
installation.
The problem was the same on two different installations on Windows server
2003 - one used for development, one used for production (hence cleaner).
