Обсуждение: register a service in Windows

Hi,

I'm trying to start automatically 3 postgresql services in Windows without success.

What I already do:
1) Install postgres8.4.2 binaries for Windows - ok, this service installs automatically without any action mine;

2) Created 2 new clusters:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4>bin\initdb --pgdata "C:\data5"  --encoding 'UTF8' --locale 'pt_BR.UTF-8' --username postgres
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4>bin\initdb --pgdata "C:\data7"  --encoding 'UTF8' --locale 'pt_BR.UTF-8' --username postgres

and changed the postgres.conf contained in each of these directories:
in C:\data5:  port=5430
in C:\data7:  port=5434

3) Started pg_ctl manually and worked with the clusters/databases inside pgAdminIII, including port 5432:
C:\data5>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_ctl"  -D "C:\data5" -N postgres842w5430  -l logfile5430  start
C:\data7>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_ctl"  -D "C:\data7" -N postgres842w5434  -l logfile5434  start

But, I want to start each cluster automatically.
1) If I try to register
C:\data5>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin\pg_ctl" register -N "postgres842w5430" -D "C:\data5" -U postgres -P postgres

comes the message:
can not open the service manager

2) In regedit I can see:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Installations\postgresql-8.4
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PostgreSQL\Services\pgsql-8.4

but, how can I add a new service?
In Installations there is a key "Data Directory" - then, to start another cluster I needed to install binary PostgreSQL again with new parameters?

3) I tried to left these commands at autoexec.nt without success.
4) I tried to use batchrun to add these commands at startup and worked, but I needed an icon to stop the processes.

Help.
How can I start these 3 data base areas as a service in Windows?

Thanks in advance.

I tried to use SC Windows command (Service Commander) with an administrative login, but no success again:

All commands above give me "Access denied".

Anyone have a tip? Am I in a wrong list to ask about this?
Thanks in advance,
Josi Perez

Hello,

just use pg_ctl register ;)

Good luck,

Peter, thank you for your efforts in try to help me and sorry for send the message directly to you, not for the list.
No success yet - I'm starting (and stoping) manually the 2 extra services.

About the locale, I removed this option at initdb - I will try to solve this after the service is running.
If I use pg_ctl runservice, I got the message:
1063 ERROR_FAILED_SERVICE_CONTROLLER_CONNECT The service process could not connect to the service controller.

If I use pg_ctl register, I continue to receive the same error - no matter what I do:
can not open the service manager

I made a Google search and looks like no one have problems with pg_ctl register.
Probably I am doing a stupid thing, but I can not see what.
Sugestions?

Thank you in advance,
Josi Perez
