Hi,
I had a few problems when installing beta4 and you might be able to
bring some light into it.
I first tryed to install Postgres as a service on windows XP (fully
patched) but had to cancel the installation due to errors. I then
installed Postgresql as a program (actually this suit me better then a
service).
I run under a restricted user account and I could not install using this
account due to not having the right to save a dll into the windows
directory. I then installed using an administrator account and that went
well - I just had to change the access rights to allow my normal user
account to read and write in the postgresql directories.
The last issue I met was with the start database script, it fails and
gives the error message:
>pg_ctl.exe start -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta4\data\"
postmaster starting
postmaster: invalid argument: "<" Try "postmaster --help" for more
information.
But I can start postgresql by running:
postmaster.exe -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0.0-beta4\data\"
Otherwise this is looking very good. I just have to find a free C
compiler under Windows to compile my functions.
Thanks,
Benoit
