Error 1053

Did you look in the PostgreSQL log? I think you'll find something there
to help you.

Subject: [NOVICE] Error 1053



Working on my dev system, I did a web site last year using PHP and
PostgreSQL 8.4. All went great and the site has been up and running with
no problems for over a year now. The want some changes/additions and now
can't get PostgreSQL service to start. I receive the Error 1053 that the
service takes too long?



I removed postgres and reinstalled and still get the same error?

Can't find any log file that is being updated.



According to the config file the system is set to listen on tcp/ip localhost
(127.0.0.1) port 5432, I did a netstat -a and it seems that port 5432 is not
even listed anywhere. I am guessing that this is the problem, if so, how do
I correct this?

Yes, that's the right folder. If there's nothing there, I can't help
you myself. You might want to check the logging configuration, but I'm
not sure exactly how.

Problem solved.



I had removed the data directory that was listed in the postgres config
file. Once I told the config file where this data directory was then it
works.
