Hi, Hope, this is the right mailing list.
I installed postgres on Windows XP, as previledged user (so I have access). I did not install it as a service. The database won't start after selecting "Start database" from Start Menu. The output: ************ C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\pg_ctl.exe" start -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\" server starting C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin>postgres cannot access the server configuration file "C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/postgresql.conf": No such file or directory ************ So I checked, and there is no data directory. How to install version 8.3.0-1 of postgres properly on XP? Regards, Bigg
