Hello Lou,<br>
<br>
much thanks for you tip !!!<br>
I found on the web the tool DLL-Files Fixer. This installed my
LIBEAX32.dll and i was able to do a reinstall of PostgreSQL 8.2.1. <br>
But now i have a last problem related to PostgreSQL:<br>
To keep my databases, i made a copy of the hole PostgreSQL-Folder
before reinstallation (PostgtreSQL-Server service was not running).<br>
<ul>
<li>I cleared the folder <b>data</b>, because the PostgreSQL
installation adviced me to do.</li>
<li>I installed PostgreSQL 8.2.1</li>
<li>After installation PostgtreSQL-Server service was running and
i could start PGAdminIII.</li>
<li>I stopped the PostgtreSQL-Server service </li>
<li>I restored the backup of the folder <b>data </b>(to get my
databases back)</li>
<li>But starting now PostgtreSQL-Server service does not work
anymore. I get an error message after a while (Error 1053)</li>
</ul>
Do you have any tips how i can get my databases back ?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your assistance,<br>

<div>Though my German is weak(!), you're getting a sort of
non-PostgreSQL error message there. LIBEAY32.DLL is part of
the DLL dependency chain required for PostgreSQL's SSL
support. (This DLL may have been the file damaged by your
drive sector errors?) You may be able to solve your problems
simply by replacing this file...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Meanwhile, if you need to recover data - and if you can be
assured of a secure, perhaps local-only(?) client connection
to your cluster: Would be to turn off SSL in postgresql.conf.
Of course, you'd want to also restrict access to the cluster
with the data thus exposed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But it sounds like you don't have any fundamental problem
with PostgreSQL itself; just with SSL.</div>

Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
Windows-Vista 32Bit, PostgreSQL 8.2.1<br>
<br>
After the reparation of a bad sector on the disk, the
PostgreSQL-Server did not start anymore.<br>
I decided to reinstall 8.2.1.<br>
The installer says "LIBEAY32.DLL konnte nicht geladen werden:
193. Das Installationsprogramm kann nicht auf eine passende
bereits installierte OpenSLL.Version pr&uuml;fen"<br>
I must use my existing databases (folder data) !<br>
<br>
Can anybody help me ?<br>
