View Full Version : PstgreSQL 8.4 won't start after

At the end of the Version 8.4.2-1 installation I'm getting a "non Fatal error" message, but the installation does finish. However, I'm unable to start the service. It does not start automatically, nor manually.

When I run the "Start Server" thing, it tells me: "Postgres 8.4 couldn't be started. The Service did not encounter an error."

I tried a few clean reinstalls. I don't have anti virus software installed, no firewall and windows firewall and defender are disabled. I have this problem on a frehsly formated computer, the same computer that never had problems with Postgres before.

Any ideas how to fix this? I'd even consider going back to an older version of postgres, but I wasn't able to find any working 8.3 links anymore.
edit: if you got a working link of an older verison (8.3.x) please hook me up.
