Default Re: Probllem with initdb on Windows XP


In fact, I was not using an administrative user but a user with special
rights. I tried with a simple user and the initdb runned correctly.

Thanks a lot !

Well, my French isn't as good as I'd like but it looks as though you're
trying to set up the database as an administrator. As this creates various
security risks, it's not allowed. You probably created a user account
during PostgreSQL installation. If you run initdb as that user, you should
be OK.

One handy tip, you can get a command prompt as another user without
logging out of your main account, using the 'runas' command. Type runas /?
for more information.







Hello,

I have just installed PostgreSQL (postgresql-8.0.1.zip) on a Windows XP
(SP1) platform.

After the installation I runned the following command :

initdb -D D:\Bureautique\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\Data

but an error occured at the end of the execution. Here is the message :

Cet utilisateur doit aussi possÚder le processus serveur.

Is there anymone that can tell me what's going wrong ?
