Re: postmaster

I believe the bad file descriptor is telling you that when the
postmaster is trying to start that it cannot write to the log file.
When you ran pg_ctl and specified the -l logfile option you forced
postgres to use a different log file in a different location.

Check your permissions. The default log file location is /var/log.

HTH.

If not please let us know what version of windows and postgresql you are
using.
