PostgreSQL Startup Problem on Win98

Hi All,

  The PostgreSQL binary version i got works like a charm on WinXP (Office
System).  But when i try to run the same at
home.  It doesnt start up.

  c:>initdb command works like a charm, it creates data directory, with
template1 as database.

  c:>postmaster command fails

 it says something like FATAL Error Database "karthikeyan" not created

but when i try

 c:> pg_ctl start -l logfile

 it doesnt give any error and database is started after that when i issue.

c:>psql -d template1

i get this error message

Is the server running on localhost  and accepting
TCP/IP connection on port 5432

When i checked this conf file [ postgresql.conf ]  port = 5432 is commented
out

What am i doing wrong here.

PS : I didnt face this issue on WinXP, only on Win98

Looking forward for some response.
