Moderator: Moderators Post a reply 2 posts • Page 1 of 1 [solved] error reading file postgresql.conf by sethseth » Mon Feb 13, 2012 7:36 pm I just went through a huge headache for two hours trying to figure out why no version of postgres would work on my fresh windows 7 32bit install. I tried everything in many different google search listings for this error before I finally stumble on a post on holdemmanager forums where it said your computer name and username must be english and can't have a space in it. So obv mine had a space in it. This needs to be more prominent in the install FAQ so people don't waste more time with this. Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, but I could not find anything about it with extensive forum searching, and I am a fairly technical user.Quoted from Sarek on HM forumsA) Is HM installed in default path? B) If you have Win7 (or Vista), consider the following:1) PC name must be in English and "in one word" - requires reboot after changing.2) The same for Windows user name. If not - create new Win user with EN name and reboot PC for this user when install Postgres. And he must have admin rights. After installation you can kill this new user - his mission is completed.3) Secondary logon service must be set to "Autostart".4) UAC = OFF5) Disable firewall and antivirus when installing Postgres and HM. Or uninstall them at all. 6) All installations must run "as admin" (by right-click on file). And do them as first thing after PC reboot.7) If you want to change install path for Postgres (or to set non-default folder for database cluster) - download "standalone" installation file from Download PostgreSQL | EnterpriseDB8) If your Windows is not in English - you have to install Postgres not in default folder in Program_Files. Create new (example: c:\postgresql) first and select it when install.9) Install Postgres and HM se

Each time I tried to install, I received an error at the end that read: "Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly Error reading file C:/ProgramFiles/PostgreSQL/9.4/data/postgresql.conf " This problem occurred even if I tried to install outside of error reading postgresql.conf the ProgramFiles folder, as some people have suggested. Upon looking at the .../PostgreSQL/9.4 folder, I noticed that the data subfolder had not been created at all. After digging into the initcluster.vbs script used by the installer, I found that the data folder creation error code returned as 424. After looking into this error code, I attempted to modify the folder creation part of the script but it failed again, this time with error code 429. This helped my research and I found a solution at this link (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/e4380048-4c84-4acb-ae5d-1c93579ad55d/receiving-message-runtime-error-429-activex-component-cant-create-object-in-windows7-system?forum=w7itprogeneral). The solution that worked for me was: Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. Type the following command and hit ENTER: %systemroot%\system32\regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\scrrun.dll If you're using Windows 7 64-bit Edition, run this command as well: %systemroot%\syswow64\regsvr32 %systemroot%\syswow64\scrrun.dll After these steps, the install
