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".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.
