Thread: Problem starting postmaster on Win XP Home

Problem starting postmaster on Win XP Home

From
"Roger Ackroyd"
Date:
Have followed the Win XP Install readme as far as step 9 without problem
 
net start postmaster fails with
FATAL: File /usr/share/postgresql/data/PG_VERSION is missing. This is not a valid data directory.
 
The database was initialised ok acording to messages received at step 8.
 
Any idea what I am doing wrong please? Have run out of thing to try
Thanks
Roger
