PostgreSQL Server 9.1 service failed to start due to the following error: Access is denied.

I faced with the database connection problem on my Windows 7 developer machine. It seems that the postgresql-9.1 service somehow stopped. I guess it has happened after windows update.


I tried to start it manually and got the following message in the system log:


PostgreSQL Server 9.1 service failed to start due to the following error:
Access is denied.


As I had no extra time to investigate the root of this problem, the quick workaround for fixing it was to change the Log on as option on service properties to Local System account
