Re: Installing PostgreSQL fails

Hello Peter,<br /><br /> thanks for your hints ! Your information gave me the resolution. <br /><i>pg_clt start</i>
gaveme the information about a corrupted postmaster.pid (filesize was 1k, but empty).<br /> So i installed 8.2.1 and
copiedthe folder data backup without postmaster.pid.<br /> And what a suprise, all works perfectly and my databases are
back.<br/><br /> Thanks for your assistance,<br /> Josef Springer<br /><br /> On 07.03.2015 17:38, Jan-Peter Seifert

commandline (as user postgres!): <br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

/><br/> As soon as you can start up the server successfully stop it again (in another command line window or by adding
'&' (no quotes) at the end of the command). <br /><br /> Then you can add a new service by using the pg_ctl option
register.<br /><br /> You can remove the old one by using 'sc delete': <br /><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
