I am trying to (for the first time) setup PostgreSQL
(version 7.4.3) on my windows 2000 box. I have cygwin
(version 1.5.10) installed and running. However, when
I give "initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data" command in a
cygwin window, I get an error "initdb failed".
Following is the dump on the screen (when the command
is run with -d option):
-------------------------------------------------
$ initdb -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -d
Running in debug mode.
initdb: internal variables:
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
datadir=/usr/share/postgresql
PGPATH=/usr/bin

The files belonging to this database system will be
own
This user must also own the server process.
The database cluster will be initialized with locale

Any pointers ? It will be great help.
