[postgis-users] Postgres service refuses to start on windows

[Paragon Corporation]

Roman,

Try checking your pg_log folder in your PostgreSQL data folder.  That
usually gives reason for this error.

If the problem is even before it can write, then that's a more serious
issue.  You might want to just reinstall PostgreSQL.  Reinstalling will keep
your data as is so you should be okay.

Last time I had issues on windows was with a client.  It turned out his
Anti-Virus decided certain dlls in hist PostgreSQL folder were suspicious
and just deleted them.  Well that was my guess anyway 
since half the files I recognized were missing and he had recently updated
his virus signature.

Hope that helps,
Regina

Roman,

I'm afraid I have no ideas, but as it sounds like a PostgreSQL problem (and
you may well get a reply from someone here) you might wish to try to
PostgreSQL mailing list as well, if you are awaiting a reply.

You might find a description of which version of XP, which version of
PostgreSQL, what happened before you got this problem etc improves your
chances of a useful response.

cheers

Ben
