[postgis-users] Starting the postmaster version8.2: pg_ctl <->postmaster

[Steven De Vriendt]

Regina,

Thanks for your reply ! No I'm not running on Linux.
Got the problem solved though, funny, I've added the PGDATA

it didn't work...

Regards,
Steven

PS: Feeling kind of guilty now, you give me so much support lately :-)
thanks for that !
