That depends if the hosting provider has setup things oddly in any
way. It should certainly work on a standard installation of 2K3
Datacenter.
Unfortunately you've fallen over a weird issue with one of the
Microsoft tools that crops up very occasionally, and we've yet to find
the cause (or even be able to recreate it) :-(. The pertinent part of
the log is this:
----
Granting service account access to the data directory (using cacls):
processed dir: D:\APPS\PostgreSQL\8.4\data
The data is invalid.
Failed to grant service account access to the data directory
(D:\APPS\PostgreSQL\8.4\data)
----
Notice the rather unhelpful 'The data is invalid' error, returned by cacls.exe.
My first suggestion would be to run a disk check (no need for a sector
scan) on your D drive. If the problem is being caused by a damaged ACL
on a parent directory, that should clean it up. If that doesn't work,
please send the output from the following commands:
cacls D:\APPS\PostgreSQL\8.4\data
cacls D:\APPS\PostgreSQL\8.4
cacls D:\APPS\PostgreSQL
cacls D:\APPS
cacls D:\
