Hi,
I am running a test setup for verifying the warm standby feature in
Postgres 9.0 release. Both my Master (Win 7 Professional, 64 bit) &
Standby (Win 7
Professional, 64 bit) machines are having Postgres 9.0
(postgresql-9.0.4-1-windows) installed & both are in our LAN environment.
After taking a base backup of the master database using
pg_start_backup() & copy of the data folder to Standby machine followed
by pg_stop_backup() in Master, the Standby server is started. The
Standby server logs show the following error and the standby Postgres
server shuts down. After this it never starts
2011-06-18 13:56:32 IST LOG: entering standby mode
2011-06-18 13:56:32 IST LOG: streaming replication successfully

.and same message continues..
I have attached the configuration files of standby server. Please help
me if anybody have any such experience or know the exact cause of the issue.

# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the "Client Authentication" section in the PostgreSQL
# documentation for a complete description of this file. A short
# synopsis follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access. Records take one of these forms:
#
# local DATABASE USER METHOD [OPTIONS]
# host DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
# hostssl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
# hostnossl DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD [OPTIONS]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain
# socket, "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket,
# "hostssl" is an SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a
# plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samerole", "replication", a
# database name, or a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or a
# comma-separated list thereof. In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names
# from a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches. It is
# made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer (between
# 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies the number
# of significant bits in the mask. Alternatively, you can write an IP
# address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
# Instead of a CIDR-address, you can write "samehost" to match any of
# the server's own IP addresses, or "samenet" to match any address in
# any subnet that the server is directly connected to.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "password", "gss", "sspi",
# "krb5", "ident", "pam", "ldap", "radius" or "cert". Note that
# "password" sends passwords in clear text; "md5" is preferred since
# it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTIONS are a set of options for the authentication in the format
# NAME=VALUE. The available options depend on the different
# authentication methods -- refer to the "Client Authentication"
# section in the documentation for a list of which options are
# available for which authentication methods.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other
# special characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords
# "all", "sameuser", "samerole" or "replication" makes the name lose
# its special character, and just match a database or username with
# that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect. You can
# use "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
# Put your actual configuration here
# ----------------------------------
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL
# listen on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses
# configuration parameter, or via the -i or -h command line switches.
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# allow connections from local network
host all all 192.168.4.0/24 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5
# -----------------------------
# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
# name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.) Whitespace may be used. Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line. The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal. If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload". Some
# parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to
# take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on". Some parameters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.

# STANDBY SERVER PARAMETERS

# By default, a standby server keeps streaming XLOG records from the
# primary indefinitely. If you want to stop streaming and finish recovery,
# opening up the system in read/write mode, specify path to a trigger file.
# Server will poll the trigger file path periodically and stop streaming
# when it's found.
