Hello,
I'm using a windows 2000 advanced server, postgresql was installed and working fine, and I'm using pgadminIII. the database server cannot start and get error "is the postmaster running with -i on localhost 127.0.0.1 and accepting tcp/ip connection on the port 5432...."
the last time, before this error, I've imported a data from a flat file into a table with the command copy. it was fine and I can see my data, after that I've closed the pgadmin and the application that I'm using. this application is via a web browser and you've a logout button, but I've closed the web browser without logging out. can that be the reason? I don't know.
restarting the server also didn't help, because the pgsql starts automatically when windows starts, it was always fine.
after looking, I find that it was a space problem on the drive where is installed windows and not the drive where is installed the pgsql and the database and also the application that I'm using by the pgsql.
make some free spaces and increasing the virtual memory don't help.
now I've enough free space on all drives and the virtual memory is 2 times the physique memory of 1024. but still can't start the database.
when trying to start it via the services of windows, get an internal error that error in windows or in the service...
any idea why I cannot start the database and the service ?
thx
