[GENERAL] Help, server cannot start anymore

2009-11-29 Thread CyTG
Hi, i recently migrated from mysql to postgres and i might have made a
no-no in that process.
bascily i want/need a selfcontained folder \database where i can zip
that directory move it anywhere, unzip and carry on my busniess with
no dependencies. Postgres presented me with a challenge in this regard
as i am not allowed to run it from a admin account (yes i know i know,
still..), alas i followed the steps here
http://charupload.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/manual-installation-of-postgresql-under-administrator-user-in-windows/

initdb -D c:\postgresql\data
pg_ctl.exe start -D c:\postgresql\data

Fantastic, i was up and running, migrated my data and continued
developent .. the server have stopped on occasion on its own for some
reason i cannot pinpoint, but now it is totally unable to start up,
here is the recent entries from the server log.

LOG:  could not open directory G:/mysql/pgsql/share/timezone: No
such file or directory

Dont put anything onto the g:/mysql directory, inhere mysql and
postgres lives side by side...
I understand the error, the directory is NOT there ... but this thing
was running happily a few days ago .. what went wrong ???
