Hi I initially had the Windows version of PostgreSQL v8.0 running on my C drive and was connected to a database in the data subdirectory below PostgreSQL. I needed to move it to the D Drive. After completely messing everything up, I am now unable to get it working. I have uninstalled everything and now have v8.2 installed on the D drive, and I put the data directory back within that installation. On windows start up I am unable to get the service to start and it generates the following message: Error #1 Unable to connect to PostgreSQL (Port#:5432) to get the list of databases. The error was: 101 - SQLSTATE = 08001 My question is, how do I get it to see the database which is still right there so this message goes away and all is normal again. I am totally stumped as it must be the most unintuitve program I have ever come across, and trying to find anything in the 1600+ page manual is fruitless. I am hoping I have not deleted any critical files. Can users give me some guidance please, as I am totally unfamiliar with the complexities of the program. I'm just an end user of the database within a separate program.
