Re: Setting up security for development

Below are the errors that are being created on the Database server when I
try to start the db.  Is it possible that the error is occuring because the
postgres userid is in Active Directory as a regular user and it has a
password set?  I don't want to have to give a password everytime I try and
start the service.

This is under the System in the Windows Logs

The PostgreSQL Server 8.4 service failed to start due to the following
error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely
fashion.
Event Error: 7000/7009

This is the message under the Application Windows Log
