Re: Postgres error - Mailing list pgsql-admin

Hi Paul,

The service does not start , hence we tried it through the command prompt
to check what is the error.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Ritu

PG runs as a service on windows - if you look in service control manager
is it started?

If you look in task manager are there any postmaster.exe's running?
