Moving database to new driver

[Ramjet]

It is stopped.
I don't know if its only on Vista. But it appears that I cannot change the reference of any service, not only Postgres. Could you ask the guy who posted the above help about it?

btw, I appreciate your help !

Yes, I'll see if I can get someone to help you.

bleh, looks like you might have to manually edit the registry to alter the executable path for a service I'd hoped there was a gui option in the services manager to do this.

DO NOT DO THAT UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. If you do know about registry editing, further instructions will not be necessary

It is probably much easier to start / stop postgresql manually, using the pg_ctl application provided for this purpose (you can see all the "service" does is execute a pg_ctl command, really)

open an administrator command prompt, refer to this document: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/stat ... g-ctl.html - you are likely to need the -U option to specify the service should run as user postgres.

Good luck,

dave.

Hey Dave,

I am not very positive about editing registry files and not sure what you mean with the 2nd alternative. Probably have to just uninstall Postgreq and reinstall it on the new drive.
