Re: Troubles with the 7.4.2-1 cygwin package

7.4.2 now uses cygserver to run postgres as a service. Make sure you
have installed cygserver, included it in your path, delete the current
postgres service you have installed, and finally reinstall the postgres
service using cygserver instead of the ipc-daemon2.
