Dear all, I am running Postgresql on windows xp. (not cygwin) I am no longer able to start the server. The pgadmin log file says: ERROR: server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. Since then I am no longer able to restart the server. When I run met.exe start psql-8.0 I get the message The PostgreSQL Database Server 8.0 service is starting. The PostgreSQL Database Server 8.0 could not be started. The service did not report an error. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534. This command is not giving any help. Can someone help me out here. I have been looking whether there was a postmaster.pid file residing somewhere but I can not find it. So that will not be the cause for the server not starting. regards, Danny __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
