topic ArcSDE post installation problem in Data Management Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/arcsde-post-installation-problem/m-p/392009#M22475 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have installed Image Server 10, PostgreSQL 8.3, and ArcSDE 10 on a single Windows Server 2008 R2, but I have run into a problem with the post installation of ArcSDE. When I navigate through the post installation and I get to the 'Connect as super user' form, I get the error 'Error connectin to PostgreSQL-51'. Using the postgres database account I set up during the PostgreSQL installation process, I can log on to the database via pgAdmin3. The services for all the software are running (with exception of SDE because the post install is not completed). I have tried to create a new super user account via pgAdmin3, but this account also did not work. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Basically, I cannot figure out why I cannot connect to the database via the sde post installation even though I can connect via pgAdmin3.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong. I have closely followed the sde 10 installation instructions and I have not had this problem with previous sde versions, but I am at a lost.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>thank you for your help</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 14 Oct 2011 16:25:55 GMT MichaelO_Donnell1 2011-10-14T16:25:55Z ArcSDE post installation problem https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/arcsde-post-installation-problem/m-p/392009#M22475 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have installed Image Server 10, PostgreSQL 8.3, and ArcSDE 10 on a single Windows Server 2008 R2, but I have run into a problem with the post installation of ArcSDE.
