Josef, 

Though my German is weak(!), you're getting a sort of non-PostgreSQL error message there. LIBEAY32.DLL is part of the DLL dependency chain required for PostgreSQL's SSL support. (This DLL may have been the file damaged by your drive sector errors?) You may be able to solve your problems simply by replacing this file... 

Meanwhile, if you need to recover data - and if you can be assured of a secure, perhaps local-only(?) client connection to your cluster: Would be to turn off SSL in postgresql.conf. Of course, you'd want to also restrict access to the cluster with the data thus exposed. 

But it sounds like you don't have any fundamental problem with PostgreSQL itself; just with SSL.

Look into the Windows event log for more info.
I guess you also recreated the Windows user postgres so that the file 
privileges are wrong.
IIRC there's a batch file for setting the correct file privileges ( 
don't recall the name) within the PostgreSQL installation folder.
Beware - if you specify the wrong path you might not be able to start 
Windows again!!!!

Good luck ...

Hi Josef Springer,

If you are able to start the PostgreSQL server manually i.e from pg_ctl
then the problem with your service.

You can recreate that service with following command

pg_ctl register  [-N SERVICENAME] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-D DATADIR]

after creating service try to start the service you have created it will
start your database server.

Hope this will resolve your problem.

    Hello Jan,<br>

                        <div>Though my German is weak(!), you're getting
                          a sort of non-PostgreSQL error message there.
                          LIBEAY32.DLL is part of the DLL dependency
                          chain required for PostgreSQL's SSL support.
                          (This DLL may have been the file damaged by
                          your drive sector errors?) You may be able to
                          solve your problems simply by replacing this

                          and if you can be assured of a secure, perhaps

                          postgresql.conf. Of course, you'd want to also
                          restrict access to the cluster with the data

Hello Josef,

open services (services.msc) and check which user the service has been 
registered to ( default name is postgres ).
Is this really the VERY same user used for the old instance?
If not he has a different ID and has to be given the necessary file 
permissions:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#What_filesystem_... 


The owner of the service should be a local user and not member of a domain.

And you should really check Windows' event log for the error messages 
during service startup.

Good luck!

Peter

Hello Everybody,

i have a backup of a previous PostgreSQL-Installation 8.2.1.
How can i import the databases located in this "data" folder into a 
running PostgreSQL-Server ?
Th previous PostgreSQL-Installation and the current one are the same 
version 8.2.1.

Thanks for any assistance,
Josef Springer

Hello Josef,

try to start it from command line (as user postgres!):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/app-pg-ctl.html

As soon as you can start up the server successfully stop it again (in 
another command line window or by adding ' &' (no quotes) at the end of 
the command).

Then you can add a new service by using the pg_ctl option register.

You can remove the old one by using 'sc delete':
https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc742045(v=ws.10).aspx

Good luck,

Peter

    thanks for your hints ! Your information gave me the resolution. <br>
    <i>pg_clt start</i> gave me the information about a corrupted
    postmaster.pid (filesize was 1k, but empty).<br>
    So i installed 8.2.1 and copied the folder data backup without
    postmaster.pid.<br>
    And what a suprise, all works perfectly and my databases are back.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your assistance,<br>

      Hello Josef,
      <br>
      <br>
      try to start it from command line (as user postgres!):
      <br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/app-pg-ctl.html">http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2...;
      <br>
      <br>
      As soon as you can start up the server successfully stop it again
      (in another command line window or by adding ' &amp;' (no quotes)
      at the end of the command).
      <br>
      <br>
      Then you can add a new service by using the pg_ctl option
      register.
      <br>
      <br>
      You can remove the old one by using 'sc delete':
      <br>
      <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc742045(v=ws.10).aspx">https://technet.microsoft...;
      <br>
      <br>
      Good luck,
      <br>
      <br>
      Peter
