When you look in the Services list (you get to it via control panel->administration i think) is postgres showing as running? Also, in the task manager, is postgres.exe there? Are there any more details in the logs (Event Viewer?)? You may also want to check the config files in case your machine's ip address has changed since the reboot and postgres is still listening on the old ip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
