Re: [PATCHES] [pgsql-hackers-win32] pg_autovacuum fails to start - 8.0 Release
Dave, [access denied] I see that message if the service user cannot access the executable - in my case, when I tried running it from my development directory, which the service user has no access to. When I moved the file to C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin, it worked perfectly. Hm. I put it there, too. But I copied it from the desktop (where I downloaded and unzipped it) And... checking the security-setting, it is exactly what your message suggests: postgres does not have reading rights. It reports the failure in the logfile which becomes the log target. In the attached version, I've redirected all install/remove errors to stderr (and removed the debug print). I think that is a good idea; not that redirecting to log would be wrong, but it bytes. (Same problem with some applications of myself :)) Will try your patched patch, thanks agaim, Harald ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

No problem - sorry I messed up in the first place :-( Just to have it in the googleable space: you should be able to use the current version if you cleanup the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\pg_autov acuum\DependOnService registry key. That is of no use. The service fails to start with exactly the same error message. (But, at least, I could see the problem within the registry :)) You probably need to restart after editting it so that the SCM reloads it.

Dave, You probably need to restart after editting it so that the SCM reloads it. I am not quite sure if that really helped. Either way, I found a workaround and want to have it within googling space: at the moment the rest of the command-line after -E is stored within the DependOnService Property. So the easiest fix is to have -E as the last parameter when creating the pg_autovacuum service... that creates an DependOnService pgsql-8.0 Key-Entry within the registry and it works Harald ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
