System: Windows XP Pro SP2
Running Postgres 8.0.3 for several months with the embedded PgAdmin3 1.2.1 on the same machine with no problems. Postgres is configured to start automatically as a service. I installed the PgAdmin3 1.2.2 which requested a Windows reboot. I rebooted without stopping Postgres and then couldn't restart the Postgres service. Manual restarts with pg_ctl and postmaster commands complained that the user must not have admin privilege. So, I changed the user's group to non-privileged status and uninstalled PgAdmin3 1.2.2. Now, the Postgres service starts and runs, PgAdmin3 1.2.1 works (and PgAdmin3 1.2.2 works remotely) but pg_ctl status claims there's no postmaster nor postgres running. What might have the installation of PgAdmin3 1.2.2 done to upset this installation? What shall I try next to restore normal pg_ctl activity on the host?
Thanks for your consideration.
