Thread: postgres service does not start after windows restart
hi,
i recently installed postgres8.0.4 on my comp. my OS is Windows 2000. it installed postgres database as service and made an local account on my comp.
but when i restart my windows i am unable to start the service. the service start is set to automatic but it doesnt start automatically and when i try to manually start it it gives an error
Could not start PostgreSQL Database Server 8.0 service on local computer
Error 1069: Service did not start due to logon failure
Kindly guide me as to how to restart this service after a windows restart
thanks and rgds

They suggest checking the password in your service setup, and making sure that the account has permission to run as a service - perhaps give that a go. HTH -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
