Обсуждение: Access is denied during initdb
I'm attempting to install PostgreSQL v8.0.3 on a Windows XP SP2 machine. The error log below is generated and the installation rolls back. I have verified that the "postgres" user (service account) has read/write/execute permissions to the entire C: drive as well as having the "logon as service" right enabled. What's missing? The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. fixing permissions on existing directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/global ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_xlog ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_xlog/archive_status ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_clog ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_subtrans ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/base ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/base/1 ... ok creating directory C:/PostgreSQL/8.0/data/pg_tblspc ... ok selecting default max_connections ...

So I take it that no response means that the PostgreSQL installer does not work with Windows XP SP2?

Your original message didn't seem to say anything that would let you judge the cause of the problem. The only oddity was the apparent low value for shared_buffers. That might be perfectly normal for Windows though. > Here's additional information from the log file surrounding the problem > with initdb failing: > > Action 18:10:09: SetPermissions.

If no-one seems to know here, perhaps try the windows installer project. They will be able to tell you what can cause this error. http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pginstaller/ -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd

Help?

Help? The error you are giving is *not* an initdb error, or from any other part of PostgreSQL proper (I can find no error with 2888 or TextStyle anywhere in the source). It also explicitly mentions MSI, which is Microsoft's installer, as well as initdb. From the list archives, most problems seem to be either: 1. Some anti-virus package blocking the install 2. Too few or too many permissions (PG won't run as a superuser). -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
