Still running Postgresql 8.0 beta1 from the binary MSI Installer,
Windows XP Professional now Sevice Pack 2


Stopped the running service, started Postgresql from the command line
to get some debugging output:

C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.0-beta1\bin>postmaster.exe -i

this message gets repeated without something else happening ... no

This gets printed out anytime I try to connect - no matter if from
psql or from pgadmin

on the client side:
C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.0-beta1\bin>psql -h localhost
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.


Any ideas what could be wrong? Googling led to around 3 people with
the same problem, but no solution yet.

hmmmm

TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
