Re: 7.5 devel initdb failure

This sounds very much like the known bug that has been reported several times over the past couple of days on pgsql-hackers-win32. We're working on tracking it down. At the moment, the non-MSI snapshot at http://www.hagander.net/pgsql/win32snap/ has been "downgraded" to the latest known working snapshot.

Subject: [HACKERS] 7.5 devel initdb failure


I am download the 7.5 devel installer version, when I try install in win2000,
I encountered a error, the below is the log:

=================================================

This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale chinese-simplified.

Note: I am use the local: chinese-simplified, and the encoding: "EUC_CN".

After this error, I try set the enviroment variable TZ=CST, and run the installer again, but the there is some exception raisen during the installation, say,
0x0063e45b指令引用的0x00000000内存，该内存不能为"read"
when the exception raisen, the last line of the log file is:

selecting default max_connections ...

At the install end, the installer say
------------------------------------------------
Failed to run initdb: 1!
Please see the logfile in "C:\Program files\PostgreSQL\7.5\tmp\initdb.log".
