Re: Installing PostgreSQL fails

Hello Jan,

the Server-Service  worked after reinstalling PostgreSQL correctly.
But after copying back the backup of the folder data, the Server-Service does not work anymore.
What i did:

• Term the Server-Service
• Copying back the backup of the folder data
• Starting the Server-Service (whitch did not)

So, i assume copying back the folder data is not enought. Something is missing from the backup ?

Do you have any tips for me, thanks,
Josef Springer

Look into the Windows event log for more info.
I guess you also recreated the Windows user postgres so that the file privileges are wrong.
IIRC there's a batch file for setting the correct file privileges ( don't recall the name) within the PostgreSQL installation folder.
Beware - if you specify the wrong path you might not be able to start Windows again!!!!

Good luck ...
