     however, postgresql b won't start ("not listening")?

Have you checked what port is set up in postgresql.conf?

I am not that familiar with Windows and pgAdmin so I will resort to the docs:

Does any of the below apply?

http://www.pgadmin.org/docs/1.8/connect.html

"If pgAdmin is running on a Windows machine, it can control the postmaster service if you have enough access rights. Enter the name of the service. In case of a remote server, it must be prepended by the machine name (e.g. PSE1\pgsql-8.0). pgAdmin will automatically discover services running on your local machine. "


     so i restored postgresql b's old /data/, but it still won't start?!

6) So there was an existing Postgres instance at b?

 > yes. two installations - a and b.

I am still not understanding. You have a 2008 server at a and one at b. You copied the Postgres data files from 2008 server a to 2008 server b. This did not work, so you say you restored the data directory on server b from an old copy of the data directory at b.

So where did that old copy come from?


7) What version was it?

 > both are 9.3.0-1 from the same installation file (above).

fyi, pg_bouncer process was running even after the server shutdown when
i did the copy (since size is not an issue, i could copy the entire
/postgresql/?).
