Need help with getting PostgreSQL up after reformat.

[foreyes454]

I just backed up my database and reformatted my system (vista). I am getting this popup while re-installing PT3.



I have 2 problems.

1. I don't remember which version of PostgreSQL I was running before I reformatted. I was reading I need the same version as the one I used when I backed up my DB.. I installed PostgreSQL on my laptop years ago and I never updated it, didn't think I had too. Any guess as to which one I need or is there a way to see what version my DB is backed up under?

I do not believe I ever had SP 1 Installed, so I figured I would need an older version of PostgreSQL... Which brings me to my next problem.

2. The "Download PostgreSQL" link is broken, It sends me to this URL http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.2.7/win32 which is just "404 Not Found". Do you guys have another link to whatever this was going to have me download?

PT3 should install PostgreSQL for you - the default install should be fine. You will need to install the service pack, though. ( This is generally a good idea anyway, though.)
As long as you do not install a version older than the one you previously had the database should restore OK.

If you want (or need) to install PostgreSQL manually you will need to install the latest 8.3 version, or higher.
Since your installing fresh you might as well get the latest version, version 9. If you have 64-bit Windows then you should definitely get the 64-bit version of v9, as that will give a performance improvement.

You can select the version that you want from http://www.PostgreSQL.org/download
