Hi,

I am facing the following problem,
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin>pg_ctl reload -D C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\data

pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\data")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.

Please explain me what i need to do...

-Sandhya

You have to put quotes around the paths. Ex:

pg_ctl reload -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.0\data"

TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate
subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@postgresql.org so that your
message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

Please do not resend questions to me directly that you have already sent to
the list.

I do not work in VC++ but I would first check that the postgres user (or
whatever user the postmaster is running as) has access to the files.
