have you run initdb -D /var/pgsql/data?
I'm using ipc-daemon2 and it works just fine (on winxp too), so it's not the problem.
There is no utility (as far as I know) to remove services from the scm on windows (I mean included with windows).
But you can remove ipc-daemon2 with
$ipc-daemon2 --remove-service
and postmaster with
$cygrunsrv --remove postmaster
Remember to reboot before you try to reinstall any of these services.
I would try stopping and starting ipc-daemon2 from the scm, and if it works ok, then I would try to start postgres.
If you have problems starting ipc-daemon2 you should check the event viewer (i guess) to find out what happened.
If you have problems starting postgresql, try
$/usr/bin/postmaster -D /var/pgsql/data
from the console to see any error messages.
Hope it helps.

Hi
I tried to install the postmaster on XP Home Edition but it doesn’t work. The service starts and stops right after.
I loaded it that way: cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D /var/psql/data -i" --dep ipc-daemon2 --termsig INT –shutdown
Other question...I couldn’t find the “ipc-daemon” service so I loaded “ipc-daemon2”. Is that the problem? What is the difference between both of them?
How can I delete a service in the service list on XP?
Thanx for your help!
