hello !
I
having an issue with my postgres database installed on a windows xp. For some
reason, I can no longer start the postgres service through pgadmin or the
services window. I get the following error:
Error 1053: The service did not
respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
Any ideas
?
Roman.

Sometimes the PostgreSQL logs for the current day have useful error
messages. If you did a regular install, they're probably in "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\(your version - probably 8.3, 8.4, or 9.0)\data\pg_log".
You may be able to figure out what is broken from that. If you can't
decipher the message and can't find anything on a web search, post it here
and I'm sure someone will know what is going on. Good luck.

When you attempt to restart, notice any error logs in the pg-log directory.
Any information there will give a clue.
On a related note, I had this experience once with Pg 8.2 and Windows 2K.
For some reason, the Postgres working directory was set to be read-only. I
have no idea how this happened - perhaps it was the anti-virus software or a
rogue admin. But once I reset the directory it worked.
