The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5650 Logged by: Mark Llewellyn Email address: mark_llewellyn@adp.com PostgreSQL version: 9.0 RC1 Operating system: Windows XP Description: Postgres service showing as stopped when in fact it is running Details: The postgresql-9.0 service is showing as *not running* in pgAdmin 3 1.12 RC1 and as *stopped* in the Windows services list, although the database is actually running and I can connect to it and create databases, tables etc. It also shows multiple postgresql tasks in Windows task manager. However, because Windows XP is not aware that the postgresql-9.0 service is running it is not possible to stop the service.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but how did you start the service? And applying the good old Windows troubleshooting meme... if you reboot, does that fix it? --=20 Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise Postgres Company

Hi Mark, On of my college (Sujeet) has found a way to reproduce the same behaviour. 1. Installed PG 9.0 on Win XP SP3 2. Stop the Postgresql-9.0 service from service manager console 3. Create pgpass.conf in postgres (service account) user's profile with an incorrect password deliberately. (Refer: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/libpq-pgpass.html) 4. Now start the postgresql-9.0 service, it will return an error and the status shows stopped 5. However i could connect to the psql shell and get the prompt which means the server is running. So, please check if pgpass.conf file exists in service account (postgres) user's %APPDATA%\postgresql directory with wrong password. -- Thanks & Regards, Ashesh Vashi EnterpriseDB INDIA: Enterprise Postgres Company<http://www.enterprisedb.com> On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 9:52 PM, Mark Llewellyn <mark_llewellyn@adp.com>wrote: > > The following bug has been logged online: > > Bug reference: 5650 > Logged by: Mark Llewellyn > Email address: mark_llewellyn@adp.com > PostgreSQL version: 9.0 RC1 > Operating system: Windows XP > Description: Postgres service showing as stopped when in fact it is > running > Details: > > The postgresql-9.0 service is showing as *not running* in pgAdmin 3 1.12 > RC1 > and as *stopped* in the Windows services list, although the database is > actually running and I can connect to it and create databases, tables etc. > It also shows multiple postgresql tasks in Windows task manager. > However, because Windows XP is not aware that the postgresql-9.0 service is > running it is not possible to stop the service. > > -- > Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs >

Hi Ashesh Yes, this appears to be the issue that the password in the pgpass.conf file= for the postgres user had not been changed when the windows account passwo= rd was reset. Problem now resolved.
