The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4989 Logged by: Travis K Email address: travisjkirt...@yahoo.com PostgreSQL version: 8.3 Operating system: Windows XP Description: Fatal Error Details:
Hello, I was using holdem manager with support from postgresql for several months and recently it all came crashing down. I opened up Holdem Manager and it said it couldn't connect to postgresql, so I did a little research. All in all what I found was: postgreSQL won't start, I've tried to start it from the start menu and through administrative tools->services. It says "starting...", a loading bar opens, it makes it about 50-60% across, stops and brings up a window saying "could not start the PostgreSQL Database Server 8.3 service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion." Further searching by the windows event viewer shows a postgreSQL error which leads me to writing this email. The error says "FATAL: syntax error in file "C/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/postgresql.conf" line 1, near token "," ". I have no idea what this means or how to go about addressing this. One thought was to delete my old database (against this preferably) and see if that is the source of the issue. So far I've reinstated previous windows states, removed any newish updates by windows and reinstalled postgreSQL, none of which has worked.
