I am going to go out on a limb here and say you are running the server on
Windows correct? Before we go any further the 8.0.x series is past end of life,
especially for the Windows version. The problem you report above FATAL:... is a
known Windows version problem. It was fixed in later versions, looks like from
8.2.18 on. I do not run Postgres on Windows, if that indeed is where your server
is running, so I am at the limit of what I can help you with.
