Hey. Windows 7 OS. Installed Postgres Pro 9.6 DBMS. The postgrespro-X64-9.6 service does not start. A window comes in that the postgrespro-X64-9.6 service was started and then stopped. I was looking for a solution in Google, I did not find it. Tell me what the problem is, how to fix it. In programming newbie.

  • Apparently, something is stopping the server from starting. See if he writes something suspicious in his logs. Well, in system events, too, it does not hurt to look, it can also report errors there. - Yaant

Can help someone. On Windows, a Postgres user is created when installing PostgreSQL. If a similar error occurs, add the postgres user to the Security tab of the C: \ Program Files (x86) \ PostgreSQL folder and give him all rights. After that, the service starts normally.

  • EMNIP is not the only reason. The same error appears if the database is not initialized (after installing the postgrece, you need to execute the script that will create the database). True, I haven't worked with postgres for 10 years, I don't remember. - Dmitriy
