I've installed mongoDB on my windows 10 OS. Then I tried setting its database path to some directory by moving to it and typing mongod --datapath=data in cmd, where data is the folder which is to contain the db(I've used the relative path because I'm in that directory). But message comes that mongod is unrecognized command. After some searching I found that by specifying mongod path, i.e. "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe" --datapath=data works. Similar thing happens for mongo.
I want to directly run mongod and mongo commands, I have seen people directly using it(without going to the directory or specifying the path).
For a Windows installation, by default you have to use the full path to the exe unless you add it to the PATH.
To add it to the PATH:
01) Get path to bin, something like: C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin
02) Press the Windows key, type env, select Edit the system environment variables
03) On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables
04) In the User variables for xxxx section, select path and then click the Edit... button
05) Click New and paste your path with a trailing slash, eg:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\
06) Click OK, OK, OK and restart your command window.

The examples you have seen are probably based on UNIX installations which I think by default install mongo as a service (which Windows doesn't) and that is what is called in those examples.
To simplify startup and configuration on Windows, you can also install it as a service. See the Mongo documentation here and the
"Configure Windows Service for MongoDB' section".
This will then allow you to start and stop Mongo by simply calling
net start MongoDB
Or
net stop MongoDB
If installed MongoDB version is 6.0 or above, mongo command will not work on Powershell/cmd. If you run the command you will get the following error:
'mongo' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
To run mongo commands, you have to install MongoDB Shell from
After installing the shell, extract the zip file, you can rename the extracted folder (mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64) as "MongoDB Shell" and move that folder to Windows(:C) > Program Files
Now open the folder, go to bin and copy the path:
C:\Program Files\MongoDB Shell\mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64\bin (or
C:\Program Files\mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64\mongosh-1.6.0-win32-x64\bin)
Go to
Settings > System > About > Advanced system settings > Environment
Variables > Under System Variables, click on 'Path' then 'Edit' >
Click 'New' and paste the above copied path > Click 'Ok' 'Ok' 'Ok'
Now open Powershell/cmd, run the command 'mongosh'
You're all set to work with MongoDB
To add it to the PATH:
Add Mongo’s bin folder to the Path Environment Variable
Kindly check the link:
here
After adding bin folder to the path Environment Variable
then simply type mongo in terminal it will start working
reference : Microsoft document
set your path like this
;C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin
this is worked for me.
Based on welshGaz answer above, I edited the User Path variable but it did not work for me yet. I wasn't able to access the System Path variables.
What I noticed from the errors on the command prompt is that it what missing the "C:\data\db" directory to store its files (I don't know what those files are for just yet). So I created that directory myself and it worked.
Same problem here. I installed through the .msi file provided for windows X64bit. In the installer instructions from MongoDB (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/), I read that you can add C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin to the System Path. Then it asks to omit the full path to the the MongoDB binaries. That is where I think some information is missing. How are we supposed to omit the full path to the MongoDB binaries?
Currently I can get MongoDB to run mongod using:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongod.exe" --dbpath="c:\data\db"
For --dbpath="c:\data\db" you can replace "c:\data\db" with the path to your database.
I can also run mongo using:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2\bin\mongo.exe"
Another reason to it if you enabled any property in YAML file and it is not formatted properly. YAML looks for specific syntax like colon":"+space" ".
E.g.-
security:
authorization: enabled
use mongosh command from your terminal. mongo command no longer works for 6.0 and above.
if you are trying to connect from connection url eg mongodb://localhost:27017/yourdb try changing it to something like mongodb://127.0.0.1/yourdb
I'm using Mac Lion. I was using mongodb version 1.4. I wanted to upgrade to 1.8.5 and I followed http://shiftcommathree.com/articles/how-to-install-mongodb-on-os-x step wise replacing each mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.4.0 by mongodb-osx-x86_64-1.8.5. Everything goes smooth. I tried:
mongod
it's ok. I can access localhost:28017
but,
mongo
shows command not found
How can I fix this?
You need to add the path to "mongo" to your terminal shell.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin
Did you do the last step with paths.d? If so, try restarting your terminals.
Do you have a good reason for using 1.8.5? The current stable is 2.0.4, and it has many useful upgrades from 1.8.x
Starting from Mongodb version 6.0 mongo was replaced by mongosh
For readers in 2021:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#3.6/bin"
You'll have to add the location of the Mongo binary to PATH.
Follow the steps below in order to make the PATH variable permanent:
Open Terminal and navigate to your user directory.
Run touch ~/.bash_profile and then open ~/.bash_profile.
In TextEdit, add export PATH="<mongo-directory>/bin:$PATH" (Keep the quote marks - related to white spaces).
Save the .bash_profile file and Quit (Command + Q) Text Edit.
Run source ~/.bash_profile.
Run echo $PATH and check if the you see that the Mongo binary was added.
(*) Notice that the PATH variable is now available only for the current terminal and not to processes that were already started in the session.
In order to make it available outside the current terminal - you'll have to logout and login.
1.Go to your [mongodb installation dir]:
cd <mongodb installation dir>
2.Type ./bin/mongo to start mongo:
./bin/mongo

Note :
If above command gives error
Failed global initialization: BadValue Invalid or no user locale set. Please ensure LANG and/or LC_ environment variables are set correctly.*
Run bellow command: Read More
export LC_ALL=C
How can find installation directory
find / -name "mongodb"
You can also set path
export PATH=$PATH:<mongodb installation dir>/bin
documentation
export PATH={mongodb-install-directory}/bin:$PATH
In Mac:
Go into Bash Profile:
vi ~/.bash_profile
Add Path of Installation of MongoDB:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#4.2/bin
Reload the Bash Profile:
source ~/.bash_profile
You can navigate to the mongo directory using the command line and then start MongoDB with
./mongodb
I was facing the same problem this worked for me.
you need to install mongodb shell to ge the mongo command working.
Download link
I didn't have the right mongo command line tools installed. This from Brew worked for me though.
brew install mongodb-community
just a little recommandation, if your path has a space just wrap the whole path with quote or doublequote
example : C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.2 . notice the space in "Program Files"
export PATH=$PATH:"C:/Program Files/MongoDB/Server/X.X/bin"
in place of mongo command use mongosh command and it will work.
I am trying to install Postgres in order to use Heroku.
I am following the instructions in the Heroku tutorial, and after Postgres installation (which was successful), it says to configure my .bash_profile to allow for Postgres command line functionality.
I am following the instructions here, but I am unable to successfully add this line:
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin
That folder does in fact contain "psql" on my computer, so it should work. Here is my current .bash_profile:
# Setting PATH for Python 2.7
# The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
# The next line updates PATH for the Google Cloud SDK.
source '/Users/user/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc'
# The next line enables shell command completion for gcloud.
source '/Users/user/google-cloud-sdk/completion.bash.inc'
I tried to add the Postgres line to the end of that file, but it is not working. After searching online, there does not seem to be consensus on how to add PATHs to .bash_profile. I have tried many versions listed, but none have worked.
Please let me know if I'm doing this incorrectly!
Add this line to the end of your .bash_profile:
export PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:$PATH
This makes the search of a binary to look in that location "BEFORE the rest of the PATH"
Kill all instances of terminal and open it again, then it should work.
Try which xxx where xxx is the name of some binary inside /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin and check if it's returning that location.
Tell me if it works.
I have installed MongoDB on my Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I have created the path data/db too but when I tried to start mongodb using the command 'C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe', it is not starting. It is showing admin web console waiting for connections on port 28017.
Help me in starting the MongoDB. And also please suggest if any GUI is available for MongoDB.
Step 1
Download the mongodb
Step 2
Follow normal setup instructions
Step 3
Create the following folder
C:\data\db
Step 4
cd to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin>
enter command mongod
by default, mongodb server will start at port 27017
Step 5
(optionally) download RoboMongo and follow normal setup instructions
Step 6
Start RoboMongo and create a new connection on localhost:27017
Your MongoDB is started and connected with RoboMongo (now Robo 3T) - a third party GUI tool
This worked for me
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath C:\MongoDB\data\db
Download from http://www.mongodb.org/downloads
Install .msi file in folder C:\mongodb
Create data, data\db, log directories and mongo.config file under C:\mongodb.
Add the following lines in "mongo.config" file
port=27017
dbpath=C:\mongodb\data\db\
logpath=C:\mongodb\log\mongo.log
Start server :
mongod.exe --config="C:\mongodb\mongo.config"
Connect to localhost MongoDB server via command line
mongo --port 27017
Connect to remote MongoDB server via command line with authentication.
mongo --username abcd --password abc123 --host server_ip_or_dns --port 27017
That's it !!!
Create MongoDB Service in Windows. First Open cmd with administrator
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath "a mongodb storage actual path e.g: d:\mongo_storage\data" --logpath="a log path e.g: d:\mongo_storage\log\log.txt" --install --serviceName "MongoDB"
After that
Start Service
net start MongoDB
Stop Service
net stop MongoDB
Step 1:
First download the .msi i.e is the installation file from
https://www.mongodb.org/downloads#production
Step 2:
Perform the installation using the so downloaded .msi file.Automatically it gets stored in program files.
You could perform a custom installation and change the directory.
After this you should be able to see a Mongodb folder
Step 3:
Create a new folder in this Mongodb folder with name 'data'. Create another new folder in your data directory with the name 'db'.
Step 4:
Open cmd. Go to the directory where your mongodb folder exists and go to a path like C:\MongoDB\Server\3.0\bin.
In the bin folder you should have mongodb.exe
Step 5:
Now use
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath "C:\MongoDB\data\db"
there are 2 ways start mongoDB
Install location ( ex : C:/ )
first of all : copy mongoDB install folder into C:/ location
then changed name to "mongodb" or something what u want. here is ex with "mongodb" name
1 : setup mongoDB is an windows service
1.1 : Make directory name "data" in C:/ ( so we have C:/data ),after that make directory "C:/data/db" <br>
1.2 : run in CMD ( Run as Admin) command -> "echo logpath=C:/mongodb/log/mongo.log > C:/mongodb/mongodb.cfg" <br>
1.3 : run in CMD (Run as Adin) command -> "C:/mongodb/bin/mongod.exe --config C:/mongodb/mongod.cfg --install" <br>
1.4 : run command "net start MongoDB" <br>
2: a small .BAT file to start mongoDB without install
copy and paste to notepad and save file with filetype ".bat"
here is it :
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe –dbpath=C:/mongodb/data/db
PAUSE
if you getting error 1078 or 1087
lets remove all data in C:/data/db and restart mongoDB ( copy old data to new folder and back it up after restart mongoDB )
3 . GUI for mongoDB
i'm using rockmongo
have fun with it
I did below, it works for me in windows.
open cmd prompt in Administrator mode( right click command prompt and click "run as administrator")
then run below command
net start MongoDB
I have followed the below steps...May be it will work for you
Create directory like below
C:\DATA\DB
mongod --port 27017 --dbpath "C:\data\db"
It worked for me....
It is properly written over here
If you download the .msi file then install it and if you download the zip file then extract it.
Set up the MongoDB environment.
MongoDB requires a data directory to store all data. MongoDB’s default data directory path is \data\db. Create this folder using the following commands from a Command Prompt:
md \data\db
You can specify an alternate path for data files using the --dbpath option to mongod.exe, for example:
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath d:\test\mongodb\data
If your path includes spaces, enclose the entire path in double quotes, for example:
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe --dbpath "d:\test\mongo db data"
You may also specify the dbpath in a configuration file.
Start MongoDB.
To start MongoDB, run mongod.exe. For example, from the Command Prompt:
C:\mongodb\bin\mongod.exe
Connect to MongoDB.
To connect to MongoDB through the mongo.exe shell, open another Command Prompt.
C:\mongodb\bin\mongo.exe
It is showing admin web console waiting for connections on port 28017.
The above message means that mongodb has started successfully and is listening on port 28017.
You can use the mongo shell(mongo.exe) to connect to the mongoDB and perform db operations.
There are several GUI tools available for MongoDB like MongoVUE, etc.
Installing MongoDB on Windows is a bit tricky compared to other Executable files... Got a good reference after long search I got Installing MongoDB in Windows
After Installing open command prompt and type "mongod", then keep the window minimized and open another command prompt window and type "mongo" and you will find the success message of connecting to the test database.
hope it helps
Download MongoDB Community Server from the link - https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community
The installation takes some time. Once done, follow these steps to get your server running-
Go to C drive, make a folder named data and inside that create another folder named db.
Now move to directory where monodb server is installed. Go to C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server(Version)\bin. Copy this file location.
To make it easier to run server in future, press windows key and type environment variables.
You will see an option 'Edit the system environment variables'.
On the lower right corner, you will see a button 'Environment Variables...'. Click that.
Under System variables, double click on path.
Click on new and paste the file location you copied earlier.
Now open cmd, and type mongod.exe (It's a daemon which hosts the server.)
Open another window of cmd and type mongo.exe The connection will be established and you are good to go now.
Thanks for reading. Hope it helps.
Actually windows way to use service, from the official documentation:
Find out where is your executable is installed, path may be like this:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\bin\mongod.exe"
Create config file with such content (yaml format), path may be like this:
"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.4\mongod.cfg"
systemLog:
destination: file
path: c:\data\log\mongod.log
storage:
dbPath: c:\data\db
Execute as admin the next command (run command line as admin):
C:\...\mongod.exe --config C:\...\mongod.cfg --install
Where paths is reduced with dots, see above.
The key --install say to mongo to install itself as windows service.
Now you can start, stop, restart mongo server as usual windows service choose your favorite way from this:
from Control Panel -> Administration -> Services -> MongoDB
by command execution from command line as admin: (net start MongoDB)
Check log file specified in config file if any problems.
This is ALL I needed to init mongo in PowerShell, many replies are IMO too sophisticated.
Install: https://www.mongodb.com/download-center#community
Add C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin to environmental
variable "path". Notice: this version will be outdated soon.
Turn on new PowerShell, as it gets environmental variables on a
start, then type mongod
Open another PowerShell window and type mongo - you have access to mongo REPL! If you don't, just repeat 4 again (known bug: https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-32473)
Clearly many people have answered upon your query of how to make mongoDb work,
I'd answer the second part: Regarding an appropriate GUI for mongoDB
My suggestion is, go for MongoChef (now Studio 3T)
You can easily install and use it.
You might want want to refer to (from 03:10- to 08:50):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ws3oIyqieY&index=2&list=PLS1QulWo1RIZtR6bncmSaH8fB81oRl6MP
For a step by step guide to the GUI tool.
an additional thing you can do that is amazing
is that you can add "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin" to your system environment variables , this will allow you to RUN the command "mongod" in any place in your cmd without navigating to the bin directory every time.
-- note the the path to the bin directory can be different in your case --
so to arrange things up
1- make a folder data/db in your c drive "this is the default path mongo will look for the place to store your database files , so you do not have to specify it using '--dbpath' "
2- add "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin" to your system environment variables.
3- open CMD type 'mongod'
4- have fun
-- i saw this on a youtube channel called 'thenewboston' ,
which is also amazing --
For Windows users:
To add onto #CoderSpeed's answer above (CoderSpeed's answer).
Create a batch file (.bat) with the commands you would usually enter on the CLI, e.g.:
cd "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin"
mongod.exe
Windows Script Host’s Run Method allows you run a program or script in invisible mode. Here is a sample Windows script code that launches a batch file named syncfiles.bat invisibly.
Let’s say we have a file named syncfiles.bat in C:\Batch Files directory. Let’s launch it in hidden mode using Windows Scripting.
Copy the following lines to Notepad.
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Batch Files\syncfiles.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing
Note: Replace the batch file name/path accordingly in the script according to your requirement.
Save the file with .VBS extension, say launch_bat.vbs
Edit the .BAT file name and path accordingly, and save the file.
Double-click to run the launch_bat.vbs file, which in-turn launches the batch file syncfiles.bat invisibly.
Sourced from:
Run .BAT files invisibly
I have installed MongoDB in D:\Installs folder instead of default location.
Open command prompt and change directory into D:\Installs\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin and run the following command:
mongod.exe --config=mongod.cfg
This should start the MongoDB service.
Now, Open MongoDB Compass and connect as shown below:
Restart your cmd
Type mongo OR mongod in your cmd and press enter.
That's it :)
If from all these ways if your database not working you can try this
First, install Monngodb from the official site
second, go to this path
C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.4\bin
Third run server using mongod command
You can start Mongo also as a Win Service!
Start
Stop
I had this in my Windows services:
C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_ctl.exe runservice -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w
It never finishes executing. But if I did this on the dos shell:
C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin/pg_ctl.exe start -N "postgresql-8.4" -D "D:/PostgreSQL/8.4/data" -w
Notice that I only changed the "runservice" to "start" and it works just fine.
Any idea?
The command runservice can only be executed by the service manager
in order to fix my localhost windows 7 to start postgres as a service
i used the following command to start the data
pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" start
Then checked the status for errors
pg_ctl -D "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" status
if you get error 1063 , its more than likely permissions, i executed the following command
cacls "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data" /E /T /C /G postgres:F
then reran the start/status, it showed everything fine, but still service manager would not start the service
So, in Services->postgresql->options->logon i set the log on as the Local system account instead of the postgres user, and voila it worked
this happened to me because i set my data directory to be somewhere the postgres windows user account didn't have access to.
I had this problem in Windows after a system crash. Running the first command showed invalid data in C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\data\postmaster.pid. Deleting that file did the trick. Reference.
I faced the same issue after moving manually the database data files (PG_DATA directory) without recreating all the necessary permissions.
Here is how I solved my issue:
1. Check permissions on old PG_DATA directory:
cacls "c:\path\to\old\pgdata\dir"
2. Check permissions on new PG_DATA directory:
cacls "d:\path\to\NEW\pgdata\dir"
3. Compare outputs from 1. and 2.
Find the differences between users and/or permissions then synchronize them.
Nota: I found it easier to use explorer for the synchronization step rather than using cacls directly from the command line.
If you changed pg_hba.conf , maybe you missed somewhere in file. For example there must be CIDR after IP in that file. It must be like 192.168.1.100/32
If you forgot to put 32, then server doesnt restart.
Investigation of startup logs could be a clue. For the case problem is in the pg_hba.conf you could see something like this:
2018-11-13 00:39:34.841 PST [8284] FATAL: could not load pg_hba.conf
2018-11-13 00:39:34.842 PST [8284] LOG: database system is shut down
You need to check your logfiles and the windows eventlog for some hint of what the problem is. If there is nothing at all there, you need to break out something like Process Monitor and get a stacktrace of where it's hung.
I have had this issue in the past, and it was that the installer did not set up the permissions correctly for the user that the service was to run as.
I've also ran into this problem with postgresql throwing and error after trying to initialize the database cluster. After analyzing the log files and running command line scripts for 4 hours I've got the solution to anyone running into this problem for Windows Versions.
This is not a detailed description as to why its happening. I've installed odoo 10, 11, 12 and 13 numerous times on countless client servers and windows systems and this is the first time I've ever ran into this problem. I cant say if its because I have MS VS Enterprise installed and Android Studio on this machine or what. But Below is the easy answer on how to fix it and initialize the cluster and create the database files in the data folder.
Open the data folder for postgresql. - For Odoo installs it will normally be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL" Unless you chose another location when installing.
Remove any or all files from this folder - If not you will get an error when running initdb.exe
Right click the data folder and open up the properties for it. Click on the Security tab and then click the advanced button on the bottom.
You need to change the owner of this folder to openpgsvc. Click Change and type in openpgsvc and click ok. Once done click the check box below saying that you want this change to affect containers with this container as well.
Then on the Permissions tab click the add button on the bottom. You need to add openpgsvc as a user and give this user full rights. Click apply and and ok to close out of all the folder properties.
Now you need to open cmd.exe - Once open we are going to call initdb.exe and pass some values to it as well.
First run chdir and change the working directory to the location of initdb.exe. For me, running odoo 13 on a windows 10 machine the location is this..
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\bin"
There is one variable that need to be passed as well to make this work here is the list. NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CALL TO initdb.exe
Postgres Data Dir: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\data"
The End Result with the parameter would look like this for my installation:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\bin\initdb.exe" -D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Odoo 13.0\PostgreSQL\data"
Hit Enter and let it rip. The output of this command should look like this below.
Cmd.exe running initdb.exe script
Make sure there is no buggy empty file Program at C:\ like C:\Program
In this case, explorer will warn whenever you log on into Windows.
File Name Warning
-----------------
There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which
could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it
to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename
it now?
Installing PostgreSQL 10 On Windows 7 (yes the clock is ticking...). I first tried the latest version 11 which completely failed to install... not a good sign for Windows users. Anyway.
Quick answer: Change the account in the Windows Services panel from Network to Local.
Details of my case
During installation I created/selected a data folder in the user profile folder, because obviously the folder suggested by default, within the program folder, wouldn't work, and if it worked it would be a very idea to put data here (I don't know whether it's usual to do that on Unix/Linux, but for Windows it's it's not allowed for a long time).
At the end (when populating the data cluster) I received an error:
Failed to load SQL Modules into database Cluster
but the installation was able to complete. I found two pages about previous error, here and here, but they didn't seem relevant to my case, so I just started pgAdmin and, on the left "browser", saw the server wasn't active.
I tried to start it from here (had to type the main password), but it went inactive immediately again. So I tried to use the Windows services panel to start "postgresql-x64-10", no joy. I copied the command from this panel and pasted it into a Windows console (cmd.exe) where I finally received this
error 1063.
Searching I found this related question, and was convinced the problem was about permissions.
Solution working for my case
In the services panel I changed the account used to start the service from Network Service to Local System as suggested in a comment by #AlexanderRios.
sc create "postgresql-9.2" binPath= "\"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/pg_ctl.exe\" runservice -N \"postgresql-9.2\" -D \"C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/9.2/data\" -w" DisplayName= "postgresql-9.2" start= auto
Try this on CMD run as Administrator
(Add your parameters depend on your version)
Stop all postgres processes
Go to the postgres data folder (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\data)
Delete the postmaster.opts and postmaster.pid files
From the control panel, in administrative
tools and the services console start the postgres service
open pgAdmin III and then in right pane find server then just right click and connect, enter the password. after connected go to the browser and refresh ODOO. Problem solved.
