What windows login account are you using? Probably use the Postgres
login account.

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.
