First you try without using that using that utility. For this use the following syntax Step1: runas /user:SANDHYAR\Postgres" <path>\bin\pg_ctl.exe start -D "<path>\PostgreSql\data"" Step2: Type the password of the user postgres   Note: You can use -l "text file path" if u req a log file. It will create if the log file mentioned is not available. Also go thru http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/app-pg-ctl.html to find out the proper syntax Try this   Regards Mohamed Fazil sandhya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Fazil,,,   When i tried to did what u said..I faced the following problem.Please tell me how to solve this.

Use runas to run pg_ctl using the user created Eg batch file: @echo off chdir c:\WINDOWS\system32 runas /user:SYSNAME\postgres "<path>\pgsql\bin\pg_ctl.exe start -D ""<path>\pgsql\data" -l ""<path>\pgsql\pg_log.txt"" | "<path>\sanur pwd pause   In the above eg sanur is a utility used myself for piping the pwd into runas as it will ask externally. You can download it from http://www.commandline.co.uk/sanur_unsupported/index.html   Also go through the F ollowing FAQ link f or ur further queries http://pginstaller.projects.postgresql.org/faq/FAQ_windows.html#1.1   Also u have to copy libpq.dll either in %system32% or in PG bin folder.   Regards Mohamed Fazil     sandhya <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:   My Postgres server is not connecting now.I am working on windows .
