RE: RE: RE: Win95 PostGreSQL - Mailing list pgsql-cygwin

Errr.....just a problem.....i don't seem to able to find  the ipc-daemon on the installed directory of cygwin.

If I do a initdb -D test ,  it hangs on the last line. I don't know if my installation is a ok entirely.
But I believe it is complete as I use the cygwin setup program.

$ initdb -D test
This database system will be initialized with username "andrew".
This user will own all the data files and must also own the server process.

Fixing permissions on existing directory test
Creating directory test/base
Creating directory test/global
Creating directory test/pg_xlog
Creating template1 database in test/base/1

Actually the order is a bit different:
1. Start first of all ipc-daemon with "ipc-daemon &"
2. If you didn't, do a simple "initdb" -- the best ideea is to set environment variables required by PostgreSQL
utilities(i.e. psql & co.), not to use the "-D" switch for each of them 
3. Start the postmaster having "-i" option enabled -- either "postmaster -i&" or "pg_ctl -o \"-i"\ start"
4. Play with whaterver utility you wish -- never forget to use "-h <hostname>" option -- under win32 it's required
