Обсуждение: PostgreSQL 7.2 Initdb
Hi, I've been trying to install the latest PostgreSQL 7.2Dev snapshot in Cygwin running on Windows 2000 Pro. The source configured and compiled perfectly, but initdb gives the following output: The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres". This user must also own the server process. Fixing permissions on existing directory /data72... ok creating directory /data72/base... ok creating directory /data72/global... ok creating directory /data72/pg_xlog... ok creating directory /data72/pg_clog... ok creating template1 database in /data72/base/1... FATAL 1: data directory /data72 has group or world access; permissions should be u=rwx (0700) I have tried chmod'ing 0700 & u+rwx with no success (ls -al shows no change in permissions) and I've tried tweaking permissions from Explorer also to no effect. /etc/passwd has been updated to be safe, and I also have Jason's prebuilt 7.1.3 initdb'ing and running perfectly well on the same Cygwin installation (obviously different directories/ports etc though). Any suggestions would be appreciated... -- Dave Page (dpage@postgresql.org) pgAdmin Project Leader http://pgadmin.postgresql.org/

Not really since my 7.1.3 seems to be working OK in your environment.
Just curious:
1. What version of Cygwin are you using?
2. Are you using ntsec?
I'm downloading the 2001/9/24 snapshot right and will try to duplicate
your problem.
BTW, does anyone know what is up with PostgreSQL CVS? I'm getting the
following:
$ cvs up -d
cvs update: authorization failed: server postgresql.org rejected access to /home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot for user
anoncvs
Thanks,
Jason

I can't find the keyword in the cygwin environment string in Win2K, and I see no mention of it in the cygcheck -s output. My Cygwin installation is pretty much out of the box - I've just added XFree86 & a few shell scripts. > > I'm downloading the 2001/9/24 snapshot right and will try to > duplicate your problem. > BTW, does anyone know what is up with PostgreSQL CVS?

I cannot reproduce your problem with the 2001/9/24 snapshot. My WAG is that you need to add ntsec to your CYGWIN environment variable. Unfortunately, I cannot explain why your setup works for 7.1.3 but not 7.2. Remember that you must shutdown *all* Cygwin process before a change to CYGWIN will take affect. Please report back to the list your findings. > > BTW, does anyone know what is up with PostgreSQL CVS?

Yup, that did it (after a brief struggle with the security that ended with me waving a white flag and logging in as the local Administrator!). Actually, I still can't connect with psql but that's another problem (probably not Cygwin) - the postmaster is running at least. > Unfortunately, I cannot explain why your setup works for > 7.1.3 but not 7.2. My guess is that someone added the mode check on $PGDATA to initdb as a simple check to help secure databases - of course on 99.99999% on *nix systems that will work just fine! I get the feeling that this question may well become as common as the current 'why does my initdb hang?'... Thanks, Dave.

Further info on this: ntsec broke XFree86 :-( Regards, Dave.

Anyway, please report this issue to the XFree86 list. BTW, I'm not a XFree86 user (yet), so I can't help in this area (yet). Thanks, Jason
