PostgreSQL was installed as part of other software. The data folder is a subfolder of D:\Program Files\ Specifically: "D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\bin\pg_ctl.exe" runservice -w -N "pgsql-8.3" -D "D:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\" For various reasons I would like the data directory to be: G:\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\" I created this directory, and changed the line in the service startup, however the service threw an error on startup. What is the correct procedure for re-positioning the data directory.
Did you make sure the Postgres Windows user (which is starting the service) has "full access" to the new directory? Regards Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
