Hello, I succesfuly installed PostgreSQL 7.3.3 on Cygwin 1.3.22.
I am running WinXP Professional, and the PostgreSQL and ipc-daemon, are installed as Windows services.

Well I can stop them, and start them and everything seems to look normal.

The point is that I can't connect with psql command to the server, but I can connect with phpPgAdmin, and make all operations available there.

I realy need to use psql command, but when I try to connect I receive this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ psql -d template1 -U postgre

psql: could not connect to server: Bad file descriptor
Is the server running locally and accepting
connections on Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My pgsql data directory is: /home/postgre/data/

I also verify the pg_hba.conf file an have there:
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD

local all all trust
host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust

So it looks ok, and I even uncomment the line port = 5432 from postgresql.conf.

I just don't know what is happening.

I even try this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ pg_ctl status
pg_ctl: no database directory or environment variable $PGDATA is specified
Try 'pg_ctl --help' for more information.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Can someone help me? Thanks.
