Hi

I am unable to start Postgres on Windows XP machine using following
command:

pg_ctl start -D "D:\Platform\DevEnv\PostgreSQL\8.2\data\"

The error message displayed is:

pg_ctl: another server might be running; trying to start server anyway
2007-12-11 14:42:31 PANIC: could not open control file
"global/pg_control": Permission denied


Any pointers how can I start the Postgres using pg_ctl. I am able to
control the lifecycle of Postgres using Window services "net start".
However, I would like to use pg_ctl/ postgres to control the lifecycle
states.
