Installing iHub with existing Postgres server

tokorhon

<p>Hello!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm trying to install iHub on a Windows7 (64-bit) machine, but the installation fails probably because there is already a running Postgres server instance on this machine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>setupiHub.log says:</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
setupootbpg:
     [echo] Starting setup OOTB PostgreSQL database.
init.ootbpg:
     [echo] Initializing PostgreSQL for Actuate.
initpostgresql:

     [exec] Result: 1
BUILD FAILED</pre>
<p>How can I set iHub to use the already installed Postgres?</p>
<p> </p>

<p>The iHub can co-exist with a previously installed PostgreSQL server.  The one that comes with the iHub is a low profile one used to manage the meta-data of the iHub volume.</p>

<p>Thank you for including the setup log.  Regarding the error message "<span>creating directory C</span><span>:</span><span>/Actuate3/</span><span>modules</span><span>/</span><span>BIRTiHub</span><span>/</span><span>iHub</span><span>/</span><span>data</span><span>/</span><span>postgresql</span><span>/</span><span>data </span><span>...</span><span> initdb</span><span>:</span><span> could </span><span>not</span><span> create directory </span><span>"C:/Actuate3/modules/BIRTiHub/iHub/data/postgresql"</span><span>:</span><span> </span><span>Permission</span><span> denied", what Windows user are you installing the iHub?  Is the user an administrator, or is part of the Administrator group?  A workaround would be to create an C:\Actuate3 folder, and explicitly assign read/write access to the user you are installing and have it propagate recursively, before you run the install .exe.</span></p>
