I had a similar problem once. For some reason, after I installed a windows service pack update, my Postgresql directory was altered to be READ-ONLY. Once this happened, postgresql wan't able to start. After spending a quited a bit of time to dicover the cause of the problem, I simply had to reset the directoy to be write-able. I hope this helps.

Re: [GENERAL] pg_ctl start fails on Windows
Could still be a permission problem. Whatever NT account you are using as the service account (usally called postgres) for the PostgreSQL server is the one that needs to be able to create the postmaster.pid. Make sure that account has full rights to the data folder. Hope that helps, Regina -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abraham, Danny Sent: Monday, December 24, 2007 9:38 AM To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Subject: [GENERAL] pg_ctl start fails on Windows The error message is "could not open PID file".
