Dear all,

Today I by mistake deleted all the contents of pg_log & pg_xlog directory and my Postgresql refuses to start due to the below error :-

2011-04-18 10:51:39 ISTLOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2011-04-18 10:06:42 IST 2011-04-18 10:51:39 ISTLOG: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000010000000600000007" (log file 6, segment 7): No such file or directory

2011-04-18 10:51:39 ISTLOG:  aborting startup due to startup process failure

I try to reinstall with the same previous data directory, but it fails again.

Any suggestions to solve it without losing the previous data.


Thanks & best Regards,
Adarsh Sharma
