Windows-Vista 32Bit, PostgreSQL 8.2.1

After the reparation of a bad sector on the disk, the PostgreSQL-Server did not start anymore.
I decided to reinstall 8.2.1.
The installer says "LIBEAY32.DLL konnte nicht geladen werden: 193. Das Installationsprogramm kann nicht auf eine passende bereits installierte OpenSLL.Version prüfen"
I must use my existing databases (folder data) !

Can anybody help me ?

much thanks for you tip !!!
I found on the web the tool DLL-Files Fixer. This installed my LIBEAX32.dll and i was able to do a reinstall of PostgreSQL 8.2.1.
But now i have a last problem related to PostgreSQL:
To keep my databases, i made a copy of the hole PostgreSQL-Folder before reinstallation (PostgtreSQL-Server service was not running).
  • I cleared the folder data, because the PostgreSQL installation adviced me to do.
  • I installed PostgreSQL 8.2.1
  • After installation PostgtreSQL-Server service was running and i could start PGAdminIII.
  • I stopped the PostgtreSQL-Server service
  • I restored the backup of the folder data (to get my databases back)
  • But starting now PostgtreSQL-Server service does not work anymore. I get an error message after a while (Error 1053)
Do you have any tips how i can get my databases back ?

Thanks for your assistance,
Josef Springer

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.

Do you have any tips how i can get my databases back ?

Hi=C2=A0Josef Springer,=

If you are able to sta= rt the PostgreSQL server manually i.e from pg_ctl then the problem with you= r service.

You can recreate that service with foll= owing command

pg_ctl register =C2=A0[-N SERVICENAME] [-U USER= NAME] [-P PASSWORD] [-D DATADIR]

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

So, i assume copying back the folder data is not enought. Something is missing from the backup ?

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.

  • I restore backup of folder data
  • I start server-service
  • Starting of server-service is abandomed with errormessage "Fehler 1053 Der Dienst antwortet nicht auf die Start oder Steueranweisung"
Any ideas ?

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_permissions_does_PostgreSQL_require.3F

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!

Hello Jan,

the Server-Service  worked after reinstalling PostgreSQL correctly.
But after copying back the backup of the folder *data*, the
Server-Service does not work anymore.
What i did:

  * Term the Server-Service
  * Copying back the backup of the folder *data*
  * Starting the Server-Service (whitch did not)

So, i assume copying back the folder *data* is not enought. Something is
missing from the backup ?

Do you have any tips for me, thanks,

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 ...

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

Thanks for your 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
