Re: [BUGS] BUG #2182: Internal account lookup failure:

[Peter van der Maas]

After struggling with this same problem for too long, I discovered that omitting the SERVICEDOMAIN value and letting the installer set it via default did the trick.   Hope this helps someone else.   -Peter van der Maas   > > The following bug has been logged online: > > > > Bug reference:      2182 > > Logged by:          Anantha Prasad > > Email address:      aprasad ( at ) fs ( dot ) fed ( dot ) us > > PostgreSQL version: 8.1.2-1 > > Operating system:   Win2000 Prof > > Description:        Internal account lookup failure: > > Details: > > > > I had not installed PostGreSQL on this computer before. > When I use the > > installer, it gives the foll. message and rolls back the > installation. > > > > "Internal account lookup failure: No mapping between > account names and > > security IDs was done." > > > > Tried with other user names etc. but cannot proceed. > > No idea --- that isn't our error message.   Well, it is from pginstaller. It usually means that the SAM somehow lost sync. This can happen in a domain environment, haven't seen it anywhere else. It usually works if you just restart the installation process having created the user account manually first.   //Magnus
