8.0 beta service won't start

This is almost certainly the "pid file does nto go away" issue. Manually remove the .pid file in the data directory, and start the service.

I beleive this bug is fixed in beta-2.

Ämne: [BUGS] 8.0 beta service won't start

Hi,

We've been using Postgres for about a year. I recently installed the beta 8.0 Windows version on my XP laptop. It worked fine for about a week, but now the service will not start.

Here's the message I receive:

Any ideas?

I think we fixed that after beta2.

Oh, that might be so.
Then let me rephrase - it's fixed in the MSI installers released after
beta-2, because we waited for a couple of specific fixes before we made
those (that's why they were aclled beta2-dev1 etc, and not plain beta-2)
