Re: recovery via base + WAL replay failure

[Rob Adams <robfadams@xxxxxxx>]

Finally figured out what was wrong. The data folder had incorrect 
permissions after unzipping the base backup. For me, the solution was 
unchecking the "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to 
child objects" option in the Advanced Security Settings dialog for the 
data folder & giving the postgres user full control.

Nothing appeared in the log when the database failed to startup b/c the 
permissions were wrong. However, an application error did get reported 
to Windows which I found using the Event Viewer.
