Обсуждение: pgAgent installation fails - LIBPQ.DLL is missing - PostgreSQL 9.0.2 x64 - 2008 Windows Server x64
Hello,
I have a problem with installing pgAgent on my Windows server.
1. Installed PostgreSQL 9.0.2 without errors with one click installer
for windows "postgresql-9.0.2-1-windows_x64"
2. pgAdmin III successfully connects to postgres database with
password provided in instalation
3. script pqagent.sql executes without errors
4. script pqagent_update.sql executes with warning: [WARNING ] ALTER
TABLE pgagent.pga_jobstep ADD COLUMN jstconnstr text NOT NULL DEFAULT
'' CONSTRAINT pga_jobstep_connstr_check CHECK ((jstconnstr != '' AND
jstkind = 's' ) OR (jstconnstr = '' AND (jstkind = 'b' OR jstdbname !=
''))) ERROR: column "jstconnstr" of relation "pga_jobstep" already exists
5. jobs node shows in pgAdmin explorer tree
6. But when I try to install pgAgent
C:\Program Files\pgAgent\pgAgent INSTALL pgAgent -u postgres -p
secret hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres
password=secret
I get an error message saying:
The program can't start because LIBPQ.DLL is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
I tried looking for the libpq.dll.- libpq.dll is present in postgresql bin directory- if i copy .dll file to pgAgent
directoryi get a different error...
something with 0000x001- same error if I copy pgAgent to bin directory
I tried x32 instalation of postgresql 9.0.2 with all DB drivers from
Stack builder - I get the same
My instalation on os x 1.6.x works fine - i got it up and running in no time.
Am I missing something? What do you make of it? Any suggestions /
solutions are welcome.
Best regards. S

Hello there.<br /><br /> I was facing the same problem.<br /> I think the real reason is PgAgent is an x86 code, actuallyrunning with means of WoW on your x64 Windows System, while Postgres 9.x is truly x64 now thus you do have a LIBPQ.DLLbyt 64bit one, while PgAgent is looking for x86 one.<br /><br /> I've found the following workaround.<br /> Installsomwhere else x86 version of PostgreSQL for Windows (actually I've used an old 8.4.1 form our old server), copy thefollowing libraries:<br /><br /><em>comerr32.dll, gddapi32.dll, iconv.dll, k5sprt32.dll, krb5_32.dll, libeay32.dll,. libiconv-2.dll,libintl-8.dll, libpq.dll, libxml2.sll, libxslt.dll, msvcr71.dll, ssleay32.dll, zlib1.dll<br /><br /></em>tothe folder where PgAgent is located.<br /> This way I made it working. Looking forward for x64 release of PgAgent(currently unavailable I think).<br /><br /> Regards,<br /><br /> Piotr Czekalski<br /><br /> TECHBAZA.PL DevelopmentTeam.<br /><br /><pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- -------------------------------------------------------------- "TECHBAZA.PL" Sp. z o.o.

<br /> Some more information -when you finally make it working remember that your service is WoW one, thus you won't be ableto see that in regular service manager.<br /><br /> To install PgAgent run <code>"C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\pgAgent.exe"INSTALL pgagent –u OSUser –p OSUSerPassword <connect-string></code><br /> Watch registry (<code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\pgAgent)</code>to see cofiguration details and acknowledge correctinstall.<br /> To manage service, use:<br /><code>net start pgagent</code> – to start service<br /><code>net stoppgagent</code> – to stop service.<br /><br /> Hope that helps,<br /><br /> Piotr<br /><br /> W dniu 2011-01-21 21:58,Piotr Czekalski pisze: <blockquote cite="mid:4D39F390.3080107@techbaza.pl" type="cite"> Hello there.<br /><br /> Iwas facing the same problem.<br /> I think the real reason is PgAgent is an x86 code, actually running with means of WoWon your x64 Windows System, while Postgres 9.x is truly x64 now thus you do have a LIBPQ.DLL byt 64bit one, while PgAgentis looking for x86 one.<br /><br /> I've found the following workaround.<br /> Install somwhere else x86 version ofPostgreSQL for Windows (actually I've used an old 8.4.1 form our old server), copy the following libraries:<br /><br /><em>comerr32.dll,gddapi32.dll, iconv.dll, k5sprt32.dll, krb5_32.dll, libeay32.dll,. libiconv-2.dll, libintl-8.dll, libpq.dll,libxml2.sll, libxslt.dll, msvcr71.dll, ssleay32.dll, zlib1.dll<br /><br /></em>to the folder where PgAgent is located.<br/> This way I made it working.

Hello, Piotr, your workaroudn works like magic. What I did... 1. install 9.0.2 x32 on the same machine 2. copy the files from your list to pgAgent folder --> except comerr32.dll which I couldn't find on my system. 3. uninstal x32 version 4. run "C:\Program Files\pgAdmin III\pgAgent.exe" INSTALL pgagent -u OSUser -p OSUSerPassword <connect-string> - as OSuser I used postgres user which was created during the installation. I tried with Administrator user but service failed due to logon running from pgAgent director the command was: pgAgent.exe INSTALL pgAgent -u postreg -p my_password hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=postgres user=postgres password=my_password 5. net start pgagent Works like a charm! Thank you for your help.
