pt/postgresql error? unable to connect to server

[phantom_lord]

Did you turn the UAC back on?

nope it's been off the whole time

Did you try restarting the computer?

yep, several times

Is there a postmaster.pid file in the c:\PostgreSQL_Data folder now?

yep there is now.


thanks for your help on this.

Delete the postmaster.pid file and restart the computer.

[phantom_lord]

i did that and i still get the same error

I don't know what else to tell you. Try uninstalling PostgreSQL and reinstalling it as if it was the first time you've done it. In other words, don't point it to the old data folder like I described in the previous post, just install as detailed here

See if it can connect without looking at the old data. If it does, then I can try to recover the old data for you to restore from.

it's working now. can i just copy across the data folder?

[ptrack pat]

No, it's not that simple. You are going to need to ZIP your c:\PostgreSQL_Data folder and FTP it to me so that I can try to recover the data.

I'll PM you with directions. I probably won't be able to get to it until tomorrow some time.
