Re: Postgresql database does not start and just hangs

Dear Tom,
Well there's no harm in trying this our on our test database. If it works we
are through, otherwise back to Square 1.
Few pointers needed:
Do I just copy and paste the previous /usr/local/pgsql/data directory in the
new install of postgresql?
Thanks

I'm not promising that, at all ;-). But it seems worth trying.
