Обсуждение: can't install postgres 8.4 on windows 2003 server
Hi, When I try to install postgres 8.4 on windows server 2003, I get the following error: "A non-fatal error occurred whilst loading database modules. Please check the installation logs in C:/docs&setttings/user/local settings/temp for details". The log file doesn't have any error, but it looks like it stopped in the middle. Also, it doesn't install the postgres service. I have attached the log file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. http://old.nabble.com/file/p28657511/bitrock_installer_1004serverlog.log bitrock_installer_1004serverlog.log -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/can%27t-install-postgres-8.4-on-windows-2003-server-tp28657511p28657511.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Thanks Sachin for your response. I have attached the install-postgresql.log. Also, if it helps, I have the following error in my event viewer: pg_ctl: could not register service "postgresql-8.4": error code 0 The postgres service is not listed under services.

Hi,
What happens if you register the service with pg_ctl directly as:
<Path to PGHOME>\bin\pg_ctl.exe register -N <ServiceName> -U <Username> -P <Password> -D <Path to DataDirectory> -w

Ritas,
>modules. Please check the installation logs in C:/docs&setttings/user/local
>settings/temp for details". The log file doesn't have any error, but it
that directory name for "docs and settings" looks strange to me. (disclaimer: using German language versions of Windows); I am used to "documents and settings" and no "&" in directory names.
so let me throw in a very, very wild guess: is your Programs and Files directory possibly
"Progs&Files" or similiar?
My suggestion is to try to install PostgreSQL in a place without an "&" in the directory name ...
(just a feeling deep from my belly)

Herald, I was lazy to type the whole documents and settings folder. I thought it was obvious:) Massa, Harald Armin wrote: > > Ritas, > >>modules.

Sachin, I was using the windows user the postgres installer created to register the service. That failed. I thought I will try a admin user and I was able to register the service. Then I ran all the failed vb scripts in the installer which was listed in the install-postgresql.log file: startupcfg.vbs, createshortcuts.vbs, startserver.vbs, loadmodules.vbs. But I changed the user for the startupcfg.vbs to one of the admin users. After doing all these hacks it looks like postgres is installed fine. I was wondering why the user created by postgres was not able to register the service? Anybody else installing postgres 8.4 on windows 2003 server have this issue? I really appreciate any help.
