Re: BUG #2731: Cannot install PostgreSQL server on WinXP Media Center Edition

Leonid,

> I agree... but where is a descriptive message in the log.

base
global
pg_clog
pg_hba.conf
pg_ident.conf
pg_log
pg_multixact
pg_subtrans
pg_tblspc
pg_twophase
PG_VERSION
pg_xlog
postgresql.conf
postmaster.opts
postmaster.pid

and within pg_log there are log files

I think that those lines:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ERROR REPORTING AND LOGGING
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------

# - Where to Log -

log_destination = 'stderr' # Valid values are combinations of
# stderr, syslog and eventlog,
# depending on platform.

# This is used when logging to stderr:
redirect_stderr = on # Enable capturing of stderr into log
# files

# These are only used if redirect_stderr is on:
#log_directory = 'pg_log' # Directory where log files are written
# Can be absolute or relative to PGDATA

within my postgresql-config (last one is a default) are responsible for
this. Did you change the logging directory?

Best wishes,

Harald
