Postgres Start



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 anyway
2007-12-11 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.
