Which Version of PostgreSQL are you installing on Solaris x86-64 and from which website?

EnterpriseDB does not provide installer for Solaris.

hi,

in this link http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/download.do

hi

ok, forget it.

just wanted to try.

thanks

Since, postgreSQL 8.4 Installer is not available on EnterpriseDB downloads, therefore you can try PostgreSQL 8.4 downloads from following link:
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.4.1/solaris/

Let me know if you still face same problem.

hi Vibhor_K

thanks for your answer.

" PostgreSQL 8.4 installr is not available on EnterpriseDB downloads ... " - yes i know but version 8.3 is available and i just wanted to test in Solaris.

Hi,

Are you talking about Postgres Plus Advanced Server or PostgreSQL 8.3? If you are talking about PostgreSQL 8.3 installer for Solaris, then it's not available on EnterpriseDB Downloads. However I can see Postgres Plus Advanced Server 8.3 Installer on EnterpriseDB Downloads.

Also, Postgres Plus Advanced Server is different than PostgreSQL and I think this thread is for PostgreSQL Installers.

However, I would be happy to resolve your issue, if you could let me know which Product and Version are you installing.

Thanks

hi Vibhor_K, thanks again for your answer.

uppps ... yes I talk to Postgres Plus Advenced Server.

i try install Postgres Plus Advanced Server 8.3 R2 in Solaris 10 x86-64.

Hi

Thanks for information.

I tried the installation of PPAS 8.3R2 on My Solaris solaris x86-64. it worked fine. I have gone through the shell on which I have executed the initdb command.

In my environment, it is Bash shell on which I have executed the command initdb command.

Please share the output of following command:
echo $SHELL
ps |grep $$|awk '{print $4}'

Thanks

hi

the result of the comand is.

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/sh

$ ps |grep $$|awk '{print $4}'
sh

Thanks For the information.

Please execute following command on your shell and try to execute initdb.

/bin/bash
EDB_HOME/dbserver/bin/initdb -D <data directory location>

hi,

give me this message:

bash: ./initdb: cannot executed binary files

Are you trying to execute the initdb as Owner of Binaries? By default it would enterprisedb or edb.
Also, please send the output of following:

cd <EDB_HOME>/dbserver/bin
ls -ltr

Thanks

hi Vibhor_K,

1 - when i run the installer file give this message again:

<EDB_HOME>/dbserver/bin/initdb: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected

2 - i'm run in bash shell.

3 - when i run <EDB_HOME>/dbserver/bin/initdb -D <data/directory/location> give this message:

bash: ./initdb: cannot execute binary file

4 - y run whit "enterprisedb" user whit permission to group "postgres"

5 - the result of comand "ls -ltr" is:
....
-rwxr-xr-x 1 enterprisedb postgres 109552 ago 17 15:19 initdb
....

any idea?

....

Output of ls -ltr shows that Owner of binaries is enterprisedb. So, please login as enterprisedb and execute the following command:
1. cd <EDB_HOME>/bin
and execute initdb command as follows:
$bash
$./initdb -D <data directory>

Thanks

hi Vibhor_K,

i'm sorry not reply to last post but i have a lot of work.

well,

1 - i execute the command in bash with the owner of binaries files and the message is the same - bash: ./initdb: cannot execute binary file

i do not understand why!

It more like a corrupted binaries which got downloaded.

Please try to uninstall the current running Postgres Plus Advanced Server and Reinstall it after downloading fresh installer for Solaris from our website.

Thanks & Regards,
