Re: Postgres: Packaging & Server Startup

Hi,

I did not run the initdb.exe and thats why i could not start the
server.Here is what i did:

1. Executed initdb.exe as follows:

runas /user:postgres "D:\pgsql\bin\initdb.exe -D:\pgsql\data"

2.Started the server by executing the following cmd:

runas /user:postgres "D:\pgsql\bin\pg_ctl.exe -w start -D D:\pgsql\data"

and it started fine.Thanks to Richard and Ray !
