Postgres install on windows 2003 server

It could be a firewall problem. Did you try to disable it?

Subject: [BUGS] Postgres install on windows 2003 server

I am having problems installing PostgresSQL 8.0.0 on our windows 2003
server. I downloaded the postgresql-8.0.1.zip installer from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/win32/ but each time I try to install it I get
a "Error binding test network socket: 10013" error message. This always
happens at the point where the installer brings up the initialise database
cluster window dialogue.
I checked on the Microsoft website to find out what the error code meant and
it said "Permission denied.
An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access
permissions."
I get this error no matter who am logged in as or how.
Any help you can offer will be highly appreciated
Thanks

Hi, Adewale.

Do you have installed terminal service on your W2K3 ?
I see similar messages on my server. Than I deinstall terminal,
install postgresql, install terminal.
Try this way, possibly it works.

I'd put my bet down on a host based firewall, antivirus or similar
software that's not permitting the opening of network server sockets.
You will need to disable that protection and/or uninstall the software
that's preventing it.
