Server-Service worked after reinstalling PostgreSQL correctly. <br /> But after copying back the backup of the folder
*data*,the <br /> Server-Service does not work anymore. <br /> What i did: <br /><br />   * Term the Server-Service <br
/>  * Copying back the backup of the folder *data* <br />   * Starting the Server-Service (whitch did not) <br /><br />
So,i assume copying back the folder *data* is not enought. Something is <br /> missing from the backup ? <br /><br />
Doyou have any tips for me, thanks, <br /> Josef Springer <br /><br /> On 01.03.2015 15:32, Jan-Peter Seifert wrote:

Windowsevent log for more info. <br /> I guess you also recreated the Windows user postgres so that the file <br />
privilegesare wrong. <br /> IIRC there's a batch file for setting the correct file privileges ( <br /> don't recall the
name)within the PostgreSQL installation folder. <br /> Beware - if you specify the wrong path you might not be able to
start<br /> Windows again!!!! <br /><br /> Good luck ... <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></blockquote><br /><br
