Hi Thomas, Thanks for your reply. pg_ctrl has given me some more information, but I'm not quite there yet. I have verified that the postgres user has "full control" access to the data directory. When I take the commandline from the service definition and execute it, I get the following: C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.0\bin>"C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/pg_ctl.exe" runservice -N "postgresql-9.0" -D "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/data" -w pg_ctl: could not start service "postgresql-9.0": error code 1063 So, if I replace "runservice" with "start", the server starts without issue : and this will work whether I'm logged in as "postgres" or under my user account. Additionally, the \data\pg_log directory is being filled with logging information, indicating (I believe), that permissions are set correctly. But, the service will not start from the service control manager, or pgAdmin3 (which I imagine attempts to start the service in the same manner). So, I think it's very close at this point. Thanks again beforehand!
Are you sure the service is started under the postgres account? Is the password given there correct? Regards Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
