Recently, I am facing problem for not able to start the PostgreSQL service under one of my machine : Windows XP/Professional/Service Pack3 It had been running no problem previously. I try to run the following command : D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.4\bin>pg_ctl.exe runservice -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w pg_ctl: could not start service "postgresql-8.4": error code 1063 I follow the suggestion http://www.mail-archive.com/pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg83261.html, by running LSPFix.exe. Doesn't help either. I disable all the firewall, run an antivirus to scan for malware... not work still. Any suggestion on how I can debug this problem?
