Обсуждение: Starting the Database
Hi all,
I have tried a lot to search info available on Google, but still I have trouble!, I have installed the 8.0.2 version on Win2000,
I have installed as a program (not as service)
I am not able to start the database, first I was getting the error "cannot run as admin ...", so I tried to use the "runas",
I copied the properties of the shortcut from the Start-programs->PostgreSQL->start database
then I used
runas /user:vyom "D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\pg_ctl.exe start -D D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\data\"
message is printed like ..."starting as user vyom..."
But nothing happens, no messages, database not started!
Please help.

I tried those options, a DOS window suddenly appears and disappers, I cant even see what are the error messages, but still the database not starting!Any other way to check the problem?

my cygwin based start up script is
pg_ctl start -D /usr/share/postgresql/data -o -i
you may be able to apply this to your circumstance
with pg 8.
keep in mind - that "-o -i" is important - my db
doesn't work right without those parameters.
i hope this helps.

Include the logfile option (-l) in the parameters to pg_ctl. The logfile should tell you why the server is not starting. John DeSoi, Ph.D. http://pgedit.com/ Power Tools for PostgreSQL
I tried this also, but nothing is logged (the file is not created at all)
The command is as follows:
D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>runas /user:vyom "pg_ctl.exe -l D:\pglog.
txt start -D D:\data"
Enter password for vyom:
Attempting to start "pg_ctl.exe -l D:\pglog.txt start -D D:\data" as user "vyom"...
D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>runas /user:vyom "pg_ctl.exe -l D:\pglog.
txt start -D D:\data"
Enter password for vyom:
Attempting to start "pg_ctl.exe -l D:\pglog.txt start -D D:\data" as user "vyom"...
Then a window comes and disappears, how can I make out what is happening?

Include the logfile option (-l) in the parameters to pg_ctl. The
logfile should tell you why the server is not starting.

Can you login as the runas user and leave that out of the command? This would hopefully avoid starting a new shell so you could see what the output is.

Unfortunately, I am doing the same :( ................i.e I am logging as "vyom" to my machine. the login has no admin previlages!, but PostGre says that it has!So I tried to use "runas" with "/user:vyom" ......Will creating another temporary user-ID and re-logging work?
