Hello, I'm trying to evaluate this product but when I installed it, I got the following:

(1) Execute the following to launch the installer in console mode

<PPAS Installer> -console -extractall

(2) Above command will extract all binaries in your default location

(i.e /opt/PostgresPlus/8.3R2AS/)

(3). Create the data directory in the location i.e /opt/PostgresPlus/8.3R2AS/.and it must be empty and provide full access to the user "enterprisedb".

(4). Run Command Prompt as user "enterprisedb" and execute the following to initialize the data directory:

<EnterpriseDB Installation Directory>\dbserver\bin>./initdb -D <Path to the data directory>

(5). After initializing the database, use pg_ctl.exe or edb-postmaster.exe to start the database server.

pg_ctl -D <data directory path> start

You can't directly suggest about "extractall" option as it is not going to create network directory under $EDBHOME, which is required when you try to update PPAS.

Also there is a install logs created which clearly shows where is the exact issue.

By method of elimination, I regressed down to the default installation options and I was still receiving it (almost began fearing the dreaded installation progress bar approaching 50%, ). initdb log just kept saying there was a syntax error in the script (unexpected end of file while looking for matching `'').

Then it finally dawned on me. I use pwgen(1) to create passwords, specifically, "pwgen -cnys", which will also include special symbols in the password, and the symbol it incidentally picked for the database administrator account in my case was an apostrophe...

All went well as soon as I replaced it with something different.]]> http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/preList/2043/8022.page http://forums.enterprisedb.com/posts/preList/2043/8022.page GMT
