Hi

I have installed PostgreSQL 8.1 on windows XP with SP2 ... Everything is working fine, but sometimes when I want to connect to DB via pgadmin or command line or with some library, I can't connect. When this happen no error is shown but pgadmin is not responding and when connecting via command line, when I enter the password nothing is done. It looks like it is connecting but without succes. But when I restart the computer everything is OK then. This error happen not so often. I can't replicate it.

In log file is something like this:
....
2006-06-19 12:00:38 LOG: terminating any other active server processes
2006-06-19 12:00:38 LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing
2006-06-19 12:00:41 LOG: background writer process (PID 132500) exited with exit code 0
2006-06-19 12:00:41 LOG: terminating any other active server processes
2006-06-19 12:00:41 LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing
2006-06-19 12:00:43 LOG: background writer process (PID 133080) exited with exit
...

thanks Trigve

Looks like the server try hard to restart. Is there any PANIC message you
found in the log?

Thank you for reply. No there isn't any panic message. Log contain only
