Hello pgsql maintainer,
I want to install PostgreSQL to my computer, but I get error message as below:
creating template1 database in /usr/share/postgresql/data/base/1... IpcSemapho
Create: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) failed: Function not implemented
initdb failed.
Removing /usr/share/postgresql/data.
In the message, it let me remove /usr/share/postgresql/data. However, there is no data folder under /usr/share/postgresql/.
Below are my installation procedure:
Prepare:
1. Download setup.exe (for cygwin1.5).
2. Run setup.exe to get Cygwin (root directory).
3. Download Cygipc and copy it to root Cygwin directory.
and
Install:
1. # ipc-daemon2 --install-as-service
2. # net user postgres $password /add /fullname:postgres /comment:'PostgreSQL user account' /homedir:"$(cygpath -w /hom/postgres)" #
3. # mkpasswd -l -u postgres >>/etc/passwd
4. # cmd /c secpol.msc #
5. # cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D /usr/share/postgresql/data -i" --dep ipc-daemon2 --termsig INT --user postgres --shutdown #
6. # mkdir /usr/share/postgresql/data
7. # chown postgres /usr/share/postgresql/data #
8. # net start ipc-daemon2 #
9. initdb -D /usr/share/postgresql/data
Problem is here:
creating template1 database in /usr/shar
Create: semget(key=1, num=17, 03600) fai
initdb failed.
Removing /usr/share/postgresql/data.
I can't even go down to
10. # net start postmaster #
and
11. # psql -U postgres template1 #
I tried to delete Cygwin folder many times and re-install, but is doesn't work. I really need you to point how to solve the problem. In the user guide, the problem is listed there, but there is no solution.
Could you please help?
Thanks and regards,
Rose
