Hi,

I have some problems with the upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1.

I uninstalled the old version first and then i installed the 8.1 release
with an error message about ssleay32 library and some error messages about
the «Activating procedural languages...» as this

************************************
*** from postgresql-8.1.log file ***
************************************
[...]

So the problem is simple:
Connecting by PgAdmin (but also by psql.exe), in the filelog appears this

    This probably means the server terminated abnormally
    before or while processing the request.

I uninstalled and installed again postgres-8.1, also removing manually any
keys and values from the Windows registry before reinstalling, but with
same results.

Why????

Thanks.
