Re: initdb carrying on forever/problems with Postgresql setup on Cygwin

Jason,

Thanks for getting back to me.

7.2.4. I am using the following instructions to setup PostgreSQL on
Cygwin: (http://www.ejip.net/faq/postgresql_win_setup_faq.jsp)
I have used other instructions. As I don't have a "D:\" and the same
folder structure on my machine as in these instructions, I am not
following the instructions entirely. After starting "ipc-daemon &", I
then invoke "initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data".
The messages that I get are:

'The files belonging to this database system will be owned by "Vipul
Vij".
The user must also own the server process.

Fixing permissions on existing directory /usr/share/postgresql/data ....

Creating dir /usr/share/postgresql/data/base ... ok
" " " " " " global... ok
" " " " " " px_xlog ...ok
" " " " " " pg_clog ... ok
" template1 database in /usr/share/postgresql/data/base/1.... '

This is the point at which it hangs.

"postgres.exe"

I am using cygipic version 1.14.1. This was the only version I could
find. The link:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/V1.1/cygipc/ is never
available.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Vipul,

The above seems to indicate that you are using an older version of
PostgreSQL. What version are you using? What is the output of initdb
before the hang occurs. Does CPU utilization hit 100%? If so, what is
the offending process.
