Hi,

Best is to log in as te user who owns the database (standard this should be postgres I assume).

Then you open a "dos box" -> start run cmd

Then you type the following command

c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin\pg_ctl reload -D c:\your_path_to_the_database

A standard install is placing the databases at the following location :

c:\Program Files\Postgresql\8.1\data

So the command will be

c:\Program Files\Postgresql\8.1\bin\pg_ctl reload -D c:/Program Files/Postgresql/8.1/data

Kind regards

Patrick

Hi ...

Best to do is to fire the command from the user who installed the database.

In the startup files you can see the location of your data directory ..

Is it a win box or a Linux machine ?
