Re: BUG #4839: cannot start Postgre server on Windows XP SP3

Chiiwen,

have you checked that the user your PostgreSQL service will be running under
(usually named "postgres" has full access to your PostgreSQL Data directory
(E:\Postgre\8.4\data)?

You can do this by:

runas /user:postgres cmd

change directory to e:\postgre\8.4

and find out, what you are seeing as postgres

best wishes

Harald
