Re: Help ! Service fails to start

Make sure you have the proper permission/privilege to your pg_clog
folder. Postgres trying to apply your log to recover but complain about
" Permission denied".

Subject: [ADMIN] Help ! Service fails to start

Dear Friends,

I really need advise for my problem, 7 days ago Postgresql service
fails to start and i have no backup ! (OS: Windows XP Pro)

  I tried to start the service manually from control panel, it started
for about 3 second, after that stop again.

This is the error in log files :

2009-11-02 10:13:29 LOG:  database system was interrupted while in
recovery at 2009-10-30 06:33:49 Malay Peninsula Standard Time

corrupted and you will have to use the last backup for recovery.

2009-11-02 10:13:38 LOG:  aborting startup due to startup process
failure
2009-11-02 10:13:38 LOG:  logger shutting down

It seems that i still have chance to redo or undo the record that
caused this error. But how to do that ? How to find that file ?
Postgresql data folder only contain numbered filename.

Thank you for any help.
