PostgreSQL 8.1.5 and 8.2.1 both on W2K3, installed from the standard win32 msi installer.
Problem: in postgresql.conf ssl=on but the files server.key etc. are NOT present. Result: PostgreSQL service does not start. And no error message in any log I could access: nothing in the Windows Event Log, nothing in the pg_log (not even starts a file) [in this case it was me doing the SSL-setup, missing to copy the key files; BUT... they could get deleted / made inaccessible a later time, and THEN it get's impossible to diagnose the problem] Proposed solution: write an error message to pg_log/ or windows event log on missing ssl-server-key-files.
