Re: Problems with installation of cygwin/postgreSQL

Stay far away from ipc-daemon! Especially v 1.x!!!! For a long time, the ipc-daemon2 has been part of the cygwin installation.
Now they have something better, and as of recently the postgress-package in cygwin also uses the followup-replacement of ipc-daemon: cygserver.

Read the up-to-date installation instructions that come with postgresql-7.4.3 for cygwin. Remove ipc-daemon, in all versions, from your system. Perhaps reinstall the cygwin-1.5.10-3 package using the cygwin installer.

Problems with installation of cygwin/postgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------

I have installed cygwin today directy from internet

with PostgreSQL database).

I have downloaded and installed cygipc-1.14-1.tar.bz2

In the Cygwin shell :

ipc-daemon &

initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1

but i receive tbe error :

$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -W -E LATIN1
The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user "hhdg".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale C.
