Re: [BUGS] Initdb Hangs

[Blossom, Eric]

The version of Postgresql is 7.1.3-2   -----Original Message----- From: Blossom, Eric Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 4:01 PM To: 'Report bugs to' Subject: Initdb Hangs   I can't seem to get Postgres initialized. When I run initdb it seems to hang. If I run it in the background and then try to run postmaster, postmaster complains that it cannot find template1. Looking in the directories, I see no files. Below is the result of running initdb with the debug option on. This is the version that came with Cygwin last week. Is there a way to discern the version number of Postgres from the command line?   I'm running under Cygwin on Windows 2000 Professional.   $ Initdb -d Running with debug mode on.   Initdb variables:   PGDATA=/postgres   datadir=/usr/share/postgresql   PGPATH=/usr/bin   TEMPFILE=/tmp/initdb.1300   MULTIBYTE=SQL_ASCII   MULTIBYTEID=0   POSTGRES_SUPERUSERNAME=Administrator   POSTGRES_SUPERUSERID=500   TEMPLATE1_BKI=/usr/share/postgresql/template1.bki   GLOBAL_BKI=/usr/share/postgresql/global.bki   TEMPLATE1_DESCR=/usr/share/postgresql/template1.description   GLOBAL_DESCR=/usr/share/postgresql/global.description   POSTGRESQL_CONF_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/postgresql.conf.sample   PG_HBA_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_hba.conf.sample   PG_IDENT_SAMPLE=/usr/share/postgresql/pg_ident.conf.sample This database system will be initialized with username "Administrator".
