Bug reference: 2042
Logged by: mattias
Email address: mattiasw (AT) gmail (DOT) com
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.0.2.
Operating system: Windows XP Pro
Description: Installation failed
Details:

Downloaded postgresql-8.1.0-2.zip

and installed and got this.

Internal account lookup failure: No mapping between accound names and
security IDs was done.


Tried it twice. I never installed PG before, but I have mysql and sqlserver
on the same machine.

This is the end of the log file:

TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend

Whoa. Interesting. Never seen that one before.

Are you by any chance using a domain account? What's the name of the
account you are using?

TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq

[back on list]

Weird - that error indicates that the account that was either created or
verified, suddenly was not available again!=20

So. Repeating the question, what was the name of the account? And adding
the question - was this an account the installer created, or was it a
pre-existing account?

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Please don't remove the list from the recipients. Added back.

With this, I assume it used the account "postgres", because that's the
default. The question that remains is did this account exist before you
started, or not?

TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate
subscribe-nomail command to majordomo (AT) postgresql (DOT) org so that your
message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

No, the account didn't exist before. I never installed postgresql
before, so there was no reason for me to have a user called postgres.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.
