I have recently installed Cygwin PostgreSQL using Windows XP. I have an 80 gb hard drive and 512 mb of RAM
I was able to successfully use Initdb, and seem to be able to start Postmaster, but when I try to use Createdb I keep getting the following message on the Server side:
bash-2.05b$ postmaster -D data -i
DEBUG: database system was interrupted at 2002-09-23 17:12:31 CST
DEBUG: checkpoint record is at 0/1135E8

IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(key=5432001, size=1441792, 03600) failed: Not enough core
This error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded available memory or swap space. To reduce the request size (currently 1441792 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 64) and/or its max_connections parameter (currently 32).
The PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide contains more information about shared memory configuration.
and
bash-2.05b$ createdb -h localhost testdb
psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.
createdb: database creation failed
on the client side.
I'm installed the following versions:
Cygwin 1.3.12-4
Postgresql 7.2.2-1.
I can't figure out how to resolve this.
