I am using postgres 8.3 on windows The original issue i mentioned below got resolved, but encountered a new issue and here too with postgres service. Details of the Scenario: ----------------------- 1. Took base backup of the database and then set the archive parameters in postgres.conf file. Verified that WAL files are backedup to the set destination. 2. Now i am trying to recover the database. I stopped the postgres service. Updated the recovery.conf file with recovery_command details and copied it to the data directory. 3. Started postgres service. After a while, recovery config file name got changed to recovery.done but i found that database is not restored. 4. Went to pg_log and verified that log files, the log file says, recovery is succesful. 5. After this i tried to stop the postgres service, the service is not stopping. I tried this after rebooting the machine also, still facing the same problem. Any help towards this is highly appreciated.
