Dear all,
Today I by mistake deleted all the contents of pg_log & pg_xlog
directory and my Postgresql refuses to start due to the below error :-
2011-04-18 10:51:39 ISTLOG: database system was interrupted; last known

2011-04-18 10:51:39 ISTLOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
I try to reinstall with the same previous data directory, but it fails
again.
Any suggestions to solve it without losing the previous data.
Thanks & best Regards,
Adarsh Sharma
