Thanks Chetan,

The problem is solved by the below command :- :-)

[postgres@ws-test 8.4SS]$ bin/pg_resetxlog -f /hdd-1/PostgresPlus/8.4SS/data

    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 :-

    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,

Maybe someone here can point the exact steps to be followed.
