Dear Sirs:

I followed the directions to the "t" as stated @:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/text/FAQ_MSWIN

I can not get postgresql to work with cygwin and generate the following
errors:

$ /usr/sbin/cygserver &

Expected to find it in the directory "/usr/local/pgsql/data",
but could not open file "/usr/local/pgsql/data/global/pg_control": No such

I am trying to get this to run on Windows. Please help.

Thanks:)
