The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/install-windows-full.html
Description:
Hi,
I am not very experienced and some of these corrections may be trivial or
childish.
I have been following the steps for "Building with Visual C++ or the
Microsoft Windows SDK" for 9.6. using Visual Studio 2015.
Everything was pretty straightforward aside from a few things:
- I didn't find a config.pl file and wasn't sure if I created it what
exactly to put in it (I thought about copy/paste from the
"config_default.pl" but decided not to). Instead I added all the required
libraries to the system PATH.
- After having successfully run "build" and "install" I was having issues
running the regression tests. "vcregress check" ran fine but after that I
kept getting this error:
-----------------------------------------------------
psql: could not connect to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" (::1) and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
------------------------------------------------------
Obviously, there was no server running. But I was never instructed to create
a data directory or user, and run "initDB" and "pgstl Start" before this
step. I think that should be added somewhere between to avoid confusion. (I
may be completely wrong and have missed some step somewhere)
Thanks
Michael

It wouldn't hurt to spell that out explicitly, though I would've assumed it
was implied by the filename and presence of a config_default.pl .
Please send a docs patch.

vcregress check should create a temporary datadir and start a temporary
server. If it fails to do so, there's something wrong with your setup. It's
likely this is related to the missing config.pl .
vcregress installcheck (different command) requires an existing running
server. But that's not what you ran.
