Re: Installing PostgreSQL fails

Hello Harald,

the server-service worked after resinstalling PostgreSQL correctly.
But after coipying back the backup of the folder data, the server-service does not start anymore.
What i have done:
  • Term server-service
  • Copying back the backup of the folder data
  • Starting the server-service (whitch does not start)
So, i assume i missed something copying back, but the server must not be receated.
Do you have any idea ?

Thanks for assistance,
Josef Springer

Hello Lou,

much thanks for you tip !!!
I found on the web the tool DLL-Files Fixer. This installed my LIBEAX32.dll and i was able to do a reinstall of PostgreSQL 8.2.1.
But now i have a last problem related to PostgreSQL:
To keep my databases, i made a copy of the hole PostgreSQL-Folder before reinstallation (PostgtreSQL-Server service was not running).
  • I cleared the folder data, because the PostgreSQL installation adviced me to do.
  • I installed PostgreSQL 8.2.1
  • After installation PostgtreSQL-Server service was running and i could start PGAdminIII.
  • I stopped the PostgtreSQL-Server service
  • I restored the backup of the folder data (to get my databases back)
  • But starting now PostgtreSQL-Server service does not work anymore. I get an error message after a while (Error 1053)
Do you have any tips how i can get my databases back ?

Thanks for your assistance,
Josef Springer

Josef,

Though my German is weak(!), you're getting a sort of non-PostgreSQL error message there. LIBEAY32.DLL is part of the DLL dependency chain required for PostgreSQL's SSL support. (This DLL may have been the file damaged by your drive sector errors?) You may be able to solve your problems simply by replacing this file...

Meanwhile, if you need to recover data - and if you can be assured of a secure, perhaps local-only(?) client connection to your cluster: Would be to turn off SSL in postgresql.conf. Of course, you'd want to also restrict access to the cluster with the data thus exposed.

But it sounds like you don't have any fundamental problem with PostgreSQL itself; just with SSL.

Subject: Installing PostgreSQL fails

Hello everybody,

Windows-Vista 32Bit, PostgreSQL 8.2.1

After the reparation of a bad sector on the disk, the PostgreSQL-Server did not start anymore.
I decided to reinstall 8.2.1.
The installer says "LIBEAY32.DLL konnte nicht geladen werden: 193. Das Installationsprogramm kann nicht auf eine passende bereits installierte OpenSLL.Version prüfen"
I must use my existing databases (folder data) !

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks for assistance,
Josef Springer






Hi Josef Springer,

If you are able to start the PostgreSQL server manually i.e from pg_ctl then the problem with your service.

You can recreate that service with following command

pg_ctl register  [-N SERVICENAME] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-D DATADIR]

after creating service try to start the service you have created it will start your database server.

Hope this will resolve your problem.
