Suddenly my postgreSQl server (8.2) won't 'start' on one of my machines.

This is bad. I may have to reinstall, but have no idea how. This is running the 'digital signage' in our clubs... the ads and messages that display on these bigscreen tvs we have scattered over six different locations.

There seems to be a trojan involved.

[sigh] I wish I had a better IT department to rely on. As it is, I have to diagnose and figure all this stuff out on my own.

Logs, logs, logs. Check them. And if it's a unix machine, "tail -f [logfilename]" is an awesome tool -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 13:36 3
- Thanks. I will investigate in that direction. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 15, 13:39

If you can export the data somehow, format the box outright. (Mind you, this is more Bery's ballpark) -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Apr 15, 13:36
