postgres problems

[standunstan]

can anyone suggest anything for this. The person on the end of the phone was about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.

..............

creating template1 database in C:/Program Files/QCA Testing/Admin Point System/Postgres/data/base/1 ... Execution of PostgreSQL by a user with administrative permissions is not
permitted.
The server must be started under an unprivileged user ID to prevent
possible system security compromises. See the documentation for
more information on how to properly start the server.
child process was terminated by signal 1
initdb: removing contents of data directory "C:/Program Files/QCA Testing/Admin Point System/Postgres/data"

Is this a new install of the server database?

[standunstan]

yes this is a new install

[bossman]

It looks like you have not installed as per insructions which you have to follow to the letter. Is this the new software or the old 2006 software. There is new software due out soon so if it is the old 2006 i would wait til the new one and make a clean install on a dedicated server ok.

I'm waiting for the new software to be released before attempting to install it on my servers.

Need to reread the documentation about getting the pupil details out of SIMS...

Do we know when we wil be given the new software. We wanted to do a fersh install last time but they insisted we did an upgrade, there is no way i am upgrading an upgrade this time.

@tosca

Software will be with you in november (last i heard) second you umust do upgrade the reason behind it as follows.

To do an install then need key which you dont have and rm wont send you new one unless yo are installing on new server.

Second if you do install and manage to get it installed your server will try and add a new a server to the cps and then this causes major issues whch means work for everybody including your self.

So upgrade you must anyway the upgrade is best proccess as it means you have last year results etc..

Never realised that Russ, at this moment in time i am not sure if it will be put onto a new server or not (as you will see from a mammoth post I'll be making asking for a new DC config help) But after this info i get the sort of feeling to leave well alone :-)
