What windows login account are you using? Probably use the Postgres login account.
Subject: [ADMIN] Postgres StartDate: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 17:16:23 +0800From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org Hi I am unable to start Postgres on Windows XP machine using following command: pg_ctl start -D "D:\Platform\DevEnv\PostgreSQL\8.2\data\" The error message displayed is: pg_ctl: another server might be running; trying to start server anyway2007-12-11 14:42:31 PANIC: could not open control file "global/pg_control": Permission denied Any pointers how can I start the Postgres using pg_ctl. I am able to control the lifecycle of Postgres using Window services "net start". However, I would like to use pg_ctl/ postgres to control the lifecycle states. - Gaurav _________________________________________________________________ Post ads for free - to sell, rent or even buy.www.yello.in http://ss1.richmedia.in/recurl.asp?pid=186
