Package: One click installer of PostgreSQL 8.3
Env: Windows XP SP2 (Traditional Chinese)
What's wrong:
It says error reading c:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\postgresql.conf during installation. That
data directory is empty. Obviously, you can't start the server
later.
Fix:
This error is caused by the failure of initdb in creating a DB. It
fails probably due to the locale. To fix the problem:
runas /user:postgres cmd
c:
cd "\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin"
initdb -D "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data" -E UTF8
--locale=English
It is very important that you specify the encoding and the locale.
Otherwise it will fail and report that the locale is invalid.
