I just uninstalled odoo (openerp) and on reinstalling postgresql database won't install and it shows a server error (and won't start) after installing just the server.
How can I proceed from here.
I have checked in regedit (SOFTWARES) and can't find postgreSQL and I just can't understand what to do now.
Added:
On the web browser I get this
You need to remove the PostgreSQL user before reinstalling Odoo.
Open CMD as Administrator and type:
net user openpgsvc /delete
I also had the same issue. Sorted it by deleting Postgres under regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --Software ---Postgres folders

I tried installing PostgreSQL 11.2 on Windows through this link: https://www.openscg.com/bigsql/postgresql/installers.jsp/
but the program would not start no matter what I tried. A quick black window would appear for a tenth of a second, disappear, and then absolutely nothing would happen.
Thus, I uninstalled it and deleted the directory and tried to install PostgreSQL 11.2 on Windows through this link:
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
It installed properly, but when I opened my file explorer to C: where the directory should have been installed I was given an error "PostgreSQL could not be found". I thought my previous installation was causing issues, so I did a 'Search Local C:' in file explorer and found over 9,000 files involving PostgreSQL. I 'Ctrl+A' deleted all of them and skipped the exceptions saying 'You need permission to delete this file', 'This file is in use', 'Unable to locate file', etc.
I then tried to reinstall PostgreSQL 11.2 via this link (same as second link):
https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
However, after saying yes to 'permission to make changes on this computer', I immediately get the error box "There has been an error. Error reading file C;/Program Files/PostgreSQL/11/data/postgresql.conf", and I can no longer install PostgreSQL.
How do I fix this?
Thank you to Mike from the comments. Here is what I did:
1) I found all the old PostgreSQL stuff, including the program files directory tree, and deleted all of it using the uninstall function when I could.
2) Next, I reset my postgresql system environment variables and restarted my computer.
3) I deleted all top level directories for PostgreSQL and downloaded the PostgreSQL distributed by postgresql.org. I was finally able to install PostgreSQL again.
4) PGAdmin4 works, and if I use the command line type 'cmd.exe /c chcp 1252' and then type something like 'psql -U postgres postgres" and enter your password.
I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14 with XAMPP 7.2.5
Earlier today, I tried to start up XAMPP after a crash/restart. XAMPP Manager was unable to start the MYSQL Server. Apache did start correctly.
Figuring there was a potential corruption, I used my Time Machine to restore my XAMPP folder (to a 36-hour old file) in Applications.
Now when I try to run XAMPP Manager, I get a "Cannot find any readable ctl script" error message.
I've tried to run MYSQL Server directly from CLI. I receive the following message:
./mysql.server: line 200: my_print_defaults: command not found
Starting MariaDB
ERROR! Couldn't find MariaDB server (/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysqld_safe)
Any thoughts on how to resolve?
The issue has to do with a quirk with Time Machine - it does not completely regenerate all recorded folders/files. A bit of a pain.
I was able to run XAMPP from the command line:
-> cd /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles
-> sudo ./xampp start
To check on MYSQL status:
-> mysql status -u [username] -p [password]
Issue resolved
I spend a day on this and the solution in my case was:
Uninstall XAMPP
Delete all files except my databases folders from Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql (there was some .err and log files if I remember well)
Reinstall XAMPP
Reconfigure it. If you use different user than root to access your databases you need to recreate it.
I got the "Cannot find any readable ctl script" error after a Time Machine restoration, too. I'm on 10.12.6 and XAMPP 5.6.
You are correct that it appears to be a TM issue, but I was able to resolve it by entering TM and specifically selecting the directories in XAMPP/xamppfiles/ that TM would not copy over by just selecting XAMPP/xamppfiles/. (In your case, you would not want to copy over /var/mysql, assuming you want to keep your data.)
Relief. There's nothing worse than realizing your trusty backup is not so trusty.
I have previously installed CouchDB on my Azure Windows VM (Classic) without any problems using the installer setup-couchdb-1.6.1_R16B02.exe downloaded from http://couchdb.apache.org/
Today I have uninstalled the existing CouchDB installation and service with the intention of installing it again from scratch. Unfortunately, whenever I run the installer now it fails to create a windows service. More info:
I am running the installer and the command tool as Administrator
I have removed existing services using the SC command and by editing the registry (tried both methods)
I have tried creating the service after installing CouchDB using the installer by running the command:
erlsrv.exe add "Apache CouchDB" -workdir "%COUCH%\bin" -onfail
restart_always -args "-sasl errlog_type error -s couch +A 4 +W w"
-comment "Apache CouchDB 1.6.1"
This seems to create a service (which you can see in the Windows Services) but any attempt to start the service results in an error:
Windows could not start the Apache CouchDB service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
I have tried uninstalling the CouchDB application, restarting the server, re-installing CouchDB using the installer again. No joy. Also then tried running the command to create the service. Still no joy.
When I use the command
erlsrv list
I can see the services that I've tried to add in the past. Any attempt to remove them results in the error message:
erosrv: Unable to remove service (not enough privileges?)
Error: The handle is invalid
(I am using the handle as provided by the erlsrv list command)
there are no events in the events log that I can find that explain why this is failing
How can I get CouchDB to install as a service correctly?
TL;DR: Re-install in a directory path with no spaces in it, then manually create the service.
OK so at some point in my Googling today I came across this answer which gave me the clue that I should install in a path without spaces in it. So my solution was to:
uninstall the CouchDB application via Windows Control Panel.
run the uninstall.exe in any remaining installations of CouchDB and delete those directories.
remove the existing services using the SC command.
reinstall using the installer into C:\CouchDB (note: no spaces!). Select the option to install as a service (even though this doesn't quite work).
run the command to manually create the service. Note that I'm not using the %COUCH% variable as it doesn't seem to exist on my system at this point:
erlsrv.exe add "CouchDB" -workdir "C:\CouchDB\bin" -onfail restart_always -args "-sasl errlog_type error -s couch +A 4 +W w" -comment "CouchDB 1.6.1"
This command finally managed to properly create a windows service for CouchDB that started correctly. Browsing to http://localhost:5984/_utils/ now brings me to the Futon UI. And relax!
I've followed some questions for uninstalling postgres sql on mac and can't figure out how to deal with not being able to delete the data directory. My issue is I installed it a while back but don't remember the password and the thinking is to uninstall it unless someone can tell me how to reset the password. I see a mac user account for postgres was created and after resetting the password through mac preferences I sill cannot get access to the db or connect via JDBC. Please help!
You can't access your db as system user is not the same user as user in postgresql.
It is hard to tell where is data directory, while not knowing how you have installed it in first place. It is possible that you have PGDATA environment variable set. You can check it by running following command in the console:
echo $PGDATA
If it is empty you can check possible data directory locations i.e. with find command:
sudo find / -name PG_VERSION
It is file that should be in postgresql database directory according to postgres documentation:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/storage-file-layout.html
You can also check this answer, if you don't want to uninstall and remove data directory: How do I reset the postgresql 9.2 default user (usually 'postgres') password on mac os x 10.8.2?
My MySQL in XAMPP v3.2.1 is not working. It is installed properly but this comes while running it
4:41:28 PM [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL service...
It never starts!!! Neither does any other error message come. All other services(Apache, FileZilla, etc.) are working but MySQL is not. How to make it work?? Can someone help me??
Thanks in advance
P.S. - I read Xampp MySQL not starting - "Attempting to start MySQL service..." but couldn't find anything useful there
You can easily start your mysql just follow these steps:
open cmd in admin mode
type "sc delete mysql" // without cots
uninstall xampp
delete xampp folder
delete all temporary files
restart your pc
intall a fresh copy of xampp
Its done. Enjoy!!
