Re: Run "postgresql\9.0\data" on a RAID-1 disk on my Local Area Network (LAN)

Hello,

From the logs it seems, the initdb was successful, However, the database
server failed to start afterwards. Can you manually start the database
service? If yes try installing PostGIS from stackbuilder after that.
If no, then whats the error message you are getting?
