Обсуждение: BUG #1271: Installation problems (cannot execute initdb.exe)
The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 1271 Logged by: Ramzi Fadel Email address: raf@carlbro.dk PostgreSQL version: 8.0 Beta Operating system: Windows XP Prof, 5.1.2600 Build 2600 Description: Installation problems (cannot execute initdb.exe) Details: The installation file: postgresql-8.0-beta2-dev3.msi Error log; see below. Steps taken: - Run the installation with a administrator user (I do expect the installation to complete!) - The installation creates an user for the service named "postrunner" - Log off - Log in with the "postrunner" user - Run the installation. The installation fails during creation of the cluster, see below: ------------------------------- Initdb.log: ------------------------------- The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "raf". This user must also own the server process. The database cluster will be initialized with locale C. fixing permissions on existing directory C:/PGSQL80/data ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/global ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/pg_xlog ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/pg_xlog/archive_status ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/pg_clog ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/pg_subtrans ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/base ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/base/1 ... ok creating directory C:/PGSQL80/data/pg_tblspc ... ok selecting default max_connections ... 10 selecting default shared_buffers ... 50 creating configuration files ... ok creating template1 database in C:/PGSQL80/data/base/1 ... execution of PostgreSQL by a user with administrative permissions is not permitted. The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent possible system security compromise. See the documentation for more information on how to properly start the server. child process was terminated by signal 1 initdb: failed initdb: removing contents of data directory "C:/PGSQL80/data"

This means you have run initdb as "raf", not as "postrunner". ANd "raf" is a local administrator on the machine. The installer will run initdb with the account specifeid as the service user. If you need to run initdb manually, you should do this with that same account, which must not be an administrator. //Magnus
