I am reinstalling PostgreSQL using pgInstaller postgresql-8.3.16-1. An Error occurs in the last step of the install process:
Failed to run initdb:1!
\tmp\initdb.log shows this message:
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or
use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
The message is quite simple but I can't locate the root cause of the install failure.
Any one knows what's the reason?
You probably already have a database cluster installed in the location where your Posgres8.3 install is trying to init a new one. You can't really mix and match versions like that.
If possible, install the old version you had when you created the existing database. Then use pg_dumpall to create a .SQL dump of all of your data. You can then move or delete the old database (usually at /var/lib/pgsql) and install the new version. finally, apply the database dump to get the old data back.
For more details on this, read the Upgrading a PostgreSQL cluster manual page.
If you are installing the same version, there's no need to upgrade the cluster, you can probably safely ignore errors about initdb, so long as everything runs Ok.

I installed curl on my machine today by running brew install curl, and it installed curl but also ended up updating a bunch of other packages, including my postgres (I'm using postgresql12)
I end up running any insert statement (which will insert a primary key automatically), and I get this error:
[58P01] ERROR: could not access file "$libdir/uuid-ossp": No such file or directory
When I run select * from pg_extension, I see that I have uuid-ossp installed as an extension, so I do not know why it is not able to find this.
I am using MacOS
This isn't an answer to my question because I went to a last resort, but I ended up just reinstalling postgres: https://bitadj.medium.com/completely-uninstall-and-reinstall-psql-on-osx-551390904b86
I would still like to hear other answers on the matter, as I would not recommend my answer unless absolutely necessary
I'm attempting to install PostgreSQL (10.1) and pgAdmin 4 for an online course I'm taking. Every time I try to run the .exe file for the download I get the following error message:
There has been an error. Unknown error while running C:
\Temp\postgresql_installer_a8b04b6e60\getlocales.exe
I've tried to Run as Admin, I've tried downloaded previous versions of PostgreSQL and nothing seems to work. I've found others who have had the same issue but haven't found a resolution.
Does anyone know how I can install? Thanks.
Before installation, I closed all antivirus and antispy-patch for cryptolocker. Some rules added by protection softwares, blocked install file from running another place and change-read settings. First I installed pgadmin 4 v1.6, then upgrade it to v2.0.
I also using PHPStorm built-in database browser. Faster than pgadmin4.
I tried to re-install postgresql 9.5.3-1 on my windows 7 without success. In fact, at each attempt, I have the message:
failed to load sql modules into the database cluster
then, I get the message:
Error running post install step. Installation may not complete correctly. Error reading C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.5/data/postgresql.conf
I tried several attempts to solve this issue
change the installation folder
switch to 32-bit
reboot
clean the register before reinstalling
install as a postgres user as describe here (Failed to load sql modules into the database cluster during PostgreSQL Installation)
PS: installation language is French
I finally found a solution to my problem. I just installed postgres as a super administrator
Had same problem. Just double check permission for your data folder. I set full control to authenticated users and it installs correctly.
Same problem here.
In my case it was a backslash \ at the end of the password.

I was running Openerp 7 earlier, then updated the code to Odoo8 RC1 on my Ubuntu 13.04, with Postgre Sql 1.16.1 database and Eclipse 3.8 IDE. Now I wanted to update to Odoo8.0 , when I downloaded the code from GitHub and tried to run the server from eclipse, I got this error:
"column ir_ui_view.active does not exist"
I understand here that Odoo8 has added another column to the ir_ui_view table, but how should I fix it on my side to get my server running. I dont want to go through the entire process to setup Postgresql, creating user, assigning roles and then installing odoo. Can I have a simple solution where I can edit the server file or change any database property to get this running. I went through few links but none could help much.
Thanks.
OpenERP/Odoo databases are incompatible between major versions.
They must first be upgraded.
This can be done by OpenERP support services or by yourself using tools such as OpenUpgrade.
try sudo apt-get install python-pass
Upon running rake db:test:prepare my test database was dropped, but failed to be rebuilt. After researching the errors, I simply attempted to load the database with rake db:test:load to repopulate based on the schema.rb file. That call resulted in the following message
PG::Error: ERROR: could not open extension control file "/usr/pgsql-9.1/share/extension/postgis.control": No such file or directory
I've spent the day reinstalling postgresql-9.1 and postGIS 1.5.3 on a test server in every way I can find on the internet, and none of those installations produce the ever-elusive postgis.control file. Is there a special install I need to run on a CentOS6 machine to produce the binary? Or is there another way to run the rake tasks to test the psql database?
This message is shown for CREATE EXTENSION postgis; however the newer extension method was introduced for PostGIS 2.0. The version that you have installed does not support this method.
Either upgrade to PostGIS 2.0 (excellent RPMs for YUM here), or spatially enable a PostGIS 1.5 database using either a template or using enabler scripts. Details here.
